A New York City police officer pleaded guilty on Monday to charges that he participated in a ring that robbed drug dealers, an operation that officials say yielded more than 550 pounds of cocaine and $1 million in drug proceeds.
The case against the officer, Emmanuel Tavarez, 31, was scheduled to go to trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn before Judge Sandra L. Townes, with jury selection set for Monday.
Mr. Tavarez, who joined the force in July 2002, spent most of his career with the Transit Bureau. Prosecutors said he used his badge and fake search warrants to conduct raids on the drug dealers. He and his co-conspirators then kept the drugs and money taken in those raids.
