ALEXANDRIA—A Fairfax County police sergeant who pleaded guilty to illegally using police computers to check license plate numbers for a friend has been sentenced to two years of supervised probation.
Federal prosecutors say Sgt. Weiss Rasool didn’t know his friend was the target of a federal investigation and that the plates were on surveillance cars used in the probe. In January, Rasool pleaded guilty in Alexandria federal court to one misdemeanor count of unauthorized computer access. He was sentenced Tuesday.
Court records show Rasool was caught when federal agents using a wiretap heard his call to the friend, who was convicted in his investigation. The 30-year-old Rasool faced a maximum of one year in prison.
