A former Benton Harbor police officer was sentenced Thursday, after he pleaded guilty to corruption charges back in September.

Hall was sentenced to 30 months in prison, with three years of supervised release. Hall also has to pay $10,000 in restitution.

Bernard Hall, 33, was a 10-year veteran on the force and head of the narcotics division.

Hall was the boss of former officer Andrew Collins, who is currently serving time in federal prison on a felony drug conviction.

The FBI says Collins and Hall used drugs they seized to commit a number of crimes. They'd use them as evidence to falsify search warrants and fake drug deals, embezzle money, and present false evidence against Benton Harbor residents.
