A former Nassau County police commander surrendered Thursday morning to county jail to begin serving his 60-day sentence after he was convicted of helping cover up a burglary, officials told the Press.

An ex-Nassau County police commander’s attorneys argued Thursday before the New York State Court of Appeals that his conviction for covering up a burglary committed by his friend’s son should be overturned.

William Flanagan is now appealing to the New York State Court of Appeals.

Oral arguments were heard this week at an appeals court in Brooklyn.

John Hunter pleaded guilty after another commander was convicted at trial. A third suspected co-conspirator remains in the case.

Flanagan was found guilty of three misdemeanors and acquitted of a felony charge.

An ex-second deputy Nassau County police commissioner was convicted of official misconduct for his role in covering up his friend's son's burglary four years ago.

Two current Nassau police officials and one retired detective took the stand last week in the trial against the former deputy commissioner.
