A disgraced former Houston policeman was sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday for using his badge to provide guns, body armor and sensitive law enforcement information to criminals connected to the Zetas drug-cartel.

Noe Juarez was convicted in New Orleans in January in a federal drug conspiracy case that included a secretly recorded video of him making deals while in uniform outside a Houston night club where he was in charge of security.

The gear and information was sold to a cocaine trafficking network that reached from Mexico through Texas, Louisiana and other states.
