A Detroit cop pleaded guilty Thursday to pocketing more than $4,000 bribes from an auto collision shop owner.
Charles Wills, 52, struck a plea deal with federal prosecutors for his role in a broader corruption scandal involving six current and former officers that emerged in December, Robert Snell of The Detroit News reports. He'll be sentenced June 12.
Wills admitted to accepting the money in 2014 from a Detroit collision shop operator in exchange for referring owners of two abandoned vehicles to that repair shop.
"This is another stain on the badge, but it's important to point out that this doesn’t reflect on the entire Detroit Police Department. The majority of our officers do a wonderful job," Detroit Police Chief James Craig says Friday.
