From [HERE] A former Helena-West Helena police officer indicted in a drug trafficking and corruption scheme wept and apologized Wednesday before he was ordered to serve 14 months in prison.
Robert "Bam Bam" Rogers pleaded guilty to extortion in January and federal prosecutors dropped other charges filed against him in the investigation known as Operation Delta Blues. A 16-month prison term had been requested but prosecutors asked to drop it to 14 months because of Rogers' cooperation.
At his formal sentencing hearing, assistant U.S. Attorney Julie Peters said she thought Rogers had "learned his lesson," the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported (http://is.gd/6Ka8MB ) Wednesday.
