MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A former Miami-Dade officer has been sentenced to two years behind bars for his participation in a wire fraud scheme.

A judge also sentenced George Price, 42, to three years supervision following his release.

According to court documents, Price and his co-conspirators took part in a scheme in which they would provide fake police reports to people operating credit repair businesses.

Documents report Price would create the false reports using customers identifying information. The fake report would say the customer had reported to the Miami-Dade Police facts that were consistent with that person being a victim of identity theft.
