Officer Who Lied to FBI About Robbery Sentenced to Probation

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A veteran Pittsburgh police officer who lied to the FBI about a bank robbery committed by his girlfriend’s son will not serve any time in federal prison. Antoine Cain pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents investigating an armed robbery in January 2018. He twice denied knowing who the robber was when he did know because the robber Brent Richards had confessed to him. Cain was sentenced Monday to a year of probation. He apologized, saying he “meant no disrespect” to the FBI.
