Former Savannah-Chatham police chief Willie Lovett on Friday was sentenced to 7.5 years in federal prison and fined $50,000 for his November convictions on charges of commercial gambling and conspiring with an admitted gambler and others to obstruct enforcement of criminal laws over a 13-year period.
U.S. District Judge William T. Moore Jr. also ordered Lovett, 65, to serve three years of supervised release after he’s released from custody. There is no parole on a federal sentence.
