Prosecutors said Fred Curry was a drug dealer; his attorneys argued he was hard-working city employee framed by police for making a video showing a controversial arrest.

But a Baltimore City jury found Curry guilty in August, and Judge Albert Matricciani on Wednesday sentenced the 36-year-old Baltimore resident to 10 years in prison without the possibility of parole for possession and conspiracy to distribute cocaine. The judge said he would consider modifying the sentence after Curry serves 18 months.
