Feds ask judge to give Perez 'meaningful' prison term FacebookTwitterEmail Former Police Chief Armando Perez faces sentencing in cheating scandal.Ned Gerard / Associated Press BRIDGEPORT — Former Bridgeport Police Chief Armando Perez deserves a “meaningful term of imprisonment” for engaging in a nine-month conspiracy to secretly rig the police chief selection process and then lie about it, federal prosecutors told a judge Tuesday. “Perez’s conduct has significantly undermined trust in the BPD and the city’s government. Perez and his co-defendant took from the citizens of Bridgeport their expectation that the city would be run in their best interests, and not be manipulated for the benefit of influential and well-connected individuals,” the prosecutors stated in a memorandum filed in U.S. District Court.
