CLEVELAND, Ohio — A former East Cleveland police officer who stole three guns and thousands of dollars from people he pulled over is headed to prison.
Alfonzo Cole, 35, was led out of court Monday in handcuffs after he was ordered to spend the next 30 months behind bars alongside the types of people he once took an oath to arrest.
