FAIRFIELD, CT — Former Fairfield Detective Stephen Rilling, the son of Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling, won't serve a day in prison after reaching a plea deal on charges that he allegedly stole thousands of dollars in heroin and OxyContin pills from the department's evidence room that were seized during police raids, according to the Connecticut Post.

Rilling, who was a 19-year veteran of the force before resigning, was arrested last May on charges of second-degree larceny, third-degree computer crime and possession of narcotics. He had faced more than 20 years in prison if convicted of the charges. Rilling pleaded not guilty last June and had sought a jury trial.

Daniel Tepfer of the Post reports Rilling instead agreed to plead guilty to several misdemeanor charges and was sentenced to a suspended one-year sentenced with three years' probation.
