Former Littleton Police Officer Sentenced To 4 Years

LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4) – A judge sentenced a former Littleton police officer to four years in prison on Monday for drug crimes.

Jeffery Johnston was arrested last year after the FBI said he tried to sell ecstasy to an informant.

Johnston pleaded guilty to federal possession charges and gun violations.

As part of his sentence he was also ordered to forfeit $25,000 to the government.
