    Former NYPD police officer Jason Arbeeny is sentenced in Brooklyn Supreme Court.


    He cried — and the judge cut him loose.

    A disgraced NYPD detective convicted of planting drugs on an innocent couple was looking at jail time when he walked into court on Thursday.

    He walked out with probation after blubbering that he was ashamed of himself and pleading for mercy.

    "I can't look at myself in the mirror anymore," Jason Arbeeny told Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach.

    “Sir, I am begging you, please don't send me to jail."

    In a bench trial, Reichbach found Arbeeny guilty of “flaking” — framing two people by planting crack in their car during a 2007 bust.

    Arbeeny, who was on the force for 14 years, tearfully apologized to his victims.

    “My oath went down the window, my pride went out the window,” he said.

    Reichbach admitted the weepy mea culpa got to him.

    "I came into court this morning determined that the nature of this crime requires some jail time," he said.

    "I frankly didn't expect the defendant, at the 11th hour, to be making these claims."

    He then sentenced him to five years’ probation and 300 hours of community service. He said each hour Arbeeny spends speaking to cops or police recruits about his misdeeds will count as two.

    The ex-cop technically faced a maximum of four years in prison, though sources said he was never likely to get that much.

    He was one of eight officers indicted in a Brooklyn South Narcotics scandal. His trial revealed the seamy side of narcotics policing, including cops getting sexual favors from junkies in exchange for drugs and making false arrests to meet quotas and rake in overtime.

    Reichbach called Arbeeny's conduct "not only reprehensible abuse of trust and authority but the corruption of the entire criminal justice system."

    But he was swayed by pleas from the defendant, his wife and lawyer, who talked about how he had lost his job, his pension and his health.

    Arbeeny even mentioned that his young son is in therapy after threatening suicide.

    Defense lawyer Michael Elbaz blamed the "enormous pressure" to meet arrest quotas.

    The victims, Yvelisse DeLeon and Juan Figueroa, had asked Reichbach to send Arbeeny to prison and they seemed

    ambivalent about the probation.

    Asked if it was a just sentence, DeLeon said, "Not really."

    Figueroa said Arbeeny's plea was “touching.”

    “He lost everything,” he said.

    Boo fucking hoo. Anyone doubt that motherfucker strutted around like he was God when he had a badge? Punk ass bitch. The people he framed deserve beau coup compensation but it sucks that the taxpayers will have to pay this asshole's bill. He should have to pay a fee to complete his community service just as minuscule recompense. He better not be getting a pension!

    IDK what kind of recall they may have for judges in NY, but if there was one the ppl will likely implement it. This shit pisses everyone off who has had encounters with rotten pigs like this. He violated his position and the public trust AND THE FUCKING LAW! He definitely should have gone to jail. That judge is too fucked up.
