This undated photo provided by the Boston Police Department shows Nelson Carrasquillo, 35, who, along with Roberto Pulido, 41, and Carlos Pizarro, 36, were charged in Miami in July 2006, after they allegedly accepted a $35,000 payment from undercover
A second crooked Boston police officer pleaded guilty to federal charges that he protected drug dealers and committed on-duty crimes using his uniform and service weapon, prosecutors said. Nelson Carrasquillo, 36, pleaded guilty yesterday to all the charges in his indictment, including conspiring to traffic more than 5 kilograms of cocaine and more than 1 kilogram of heroin and two counts of attempting to aid and abet the possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
The plea came just as the federal government was due to pick a jury in connection with his crimes.
Carrasquillo was arrested last July in Miami along with two BPD colleagues, Carlos Pizarro, 37, and the reputed ringleader of the crooked cop crew, Roberto “Kiko” Pulido, 42. Pizarro has also pleaded guilty in connection with the case, prosecutors said.
Pulido and Carrasquillo were assigned to the BPD’s elite motorcycle unit. The trio had been slated to celebrate a successful deal with drug dealers they were working with in Florida, but were met by FBI agents instead.
The three were also accused of running an illegal after-hours club in Hyde Park frequented by strippers that was dubbed “the Boom Boom Room.” Pulido’s trial is under way in federal court.
His guilty plea is probably tied to his upcoming testimony in Pulido's trial. Sad, truly sad.
