The steroid-abusing cop behind the so-called “Boom-Boom Room” brothel, who recruited fellow officers to be muscle for drug pushers, is volunteering to serve 20 years behind bars.
After an 11th-hour bid to withdraw his guilty plea to drug and firearm charges was shot down, Roberto “Kiko” Pulido, 43, will learn the penance for betraying the badge tomorrow.
Since December, U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young has been meting out increasingly harsh sentences to Pulido’s co-defendant ex-cops - 13 years for Carlos Pizarro and then 18 years for Nelson Carrasquillo.
Prosecutors have indicated they want to put Pulido away for more than 20 years. In court papers, Pulido has offered to do 20 years. But in a letter to Young dated May 4, Pulido’s ex-wife Karen wrote, “I am praying you have the capacity to see beyond the portrayal of Roberto as a monster during his sentencing.”
Estranged from her former husband for years, Karen Pulido said she couldn’t understand how the people around the man she once knew to be the caring neighborhood dad dispensing Kool-Aid and Band-Aids “didn’t see the changes and offer assistance or intervene in some way.”
“The pumped-up, crazed version of this man portrayed in the media is still very difficult for me and my children to understand and accept,” she wrote.
Pulido’s public defender did not respond to a request for comment. Christina DiIorio-Sterling, spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan, declined to comment.
Pulido, a Marine Corps veteran who was a decorated special operations motorcycle officer, Pizarro and Carrasquillo were arrested in Miami in 2006 while collecting $36,000 owed them by what they thought were drug traffickers they’d helped safely deliver $2 million worth of cocaine to Boston.
In reality, the traitorous trio had been set up by the FBI.

F@CK HIM. Give him 30 years minimum. He's "volunteering" to do 20 years. Big F'ing Deal. He's only volunteering to do 20 because he knows he's going to get hammered with 25+ for being the shitbag he's become. I knew Roberto when he was a Muni site officer, and MBTA cop and then a Boston cop. A squared away guy but only got the last 2 jobs because of preference. We compared CS scores & I have to tell ya, he was no MENSA member. You betrayed the badge Roberto, time to pay the piper. HC

Set up.....as if these scumbags were just going along with their careers when the mean old G-Men just scooped them up for no reason.

I admit I don't have much use for the FBI when they start sniffing around to charge cops under double-jeopardy civil rights statutes for use of force incidents misinterpreted by the lemming citizenry, but any time they want to prosecute shitbirds who betray the badge and make us all look bad, that's fine with me.

Former Boston police officer sentenced to 26 years in prison



Associated Press - May 16, 2008 3:34 PM ET

BOSTON (AP) - A former Boston police officer convicted of taking thousands of dollars from men he believed were drug dealers has been sentenced to 26 years in prison.
Roberto Pulido was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Boston on Friday. He received the sentenced recommended by prosecutors, who described him as the ringleader of a group of 3 officers caught in a sting operation.
The men escorted two truckloads of cocaine into Boston in 2006. They were arrested later that year after they went to Miami to collect $35,000 from men they believed were drug dealers. The men were actually undercover FBI agents.
Pulido pleaded guilty in November to drug conspiracy and distribution charges.
Former officers Nelson Carrasquillo was sentenced to 18 years and Carlos Pizarro got 13 years.

Enjoy those extra 2190 days to go along with the other 7300, Roberto. You've certainly EARNED each and every one of them. Now the rest of us honest cops have to live with the consequences of your actions. Thanks, NOT.
