NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) A judge sentenced a former New Jersey police officer on Thursday to 20 years in prison for firebombing his supervisor's home, and said his time on the force "was a complete fraud."
Under terms of a plea agreement, Michael Dotro, 40, of Manalapan, must serve 17 years before he'll become eligible for parole.
