The cop was arrested in Feb. 15, 2020, and resigned from the Peekskill police force in 2021, according to the DA.<\/p>\n<p>Agovino is scheduled for sentencing in front of Judge Barry Warhit on June 23.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
