Embattled ex-top narcotics cop Billy White (pictured) traded a guilty plea for no more than 48 months in prison, in the latest chapter of New Haven’s ongoing police corruption scandal.

White, 63, would have faced up to 25 years in prison and a fine of $750,000 based on charges he took bribes and stole government money. Appearing in an “agitated” and tight-lipped state before U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven Federal Court Friday, White bought reduced prison time by entering a guilty plea.
