 A former Yonkers police officer and detective face jail time after pleading guilty Thursday to perjury for lying to get a search warrant for a raid in which a School Street tenant died when he fell out a window. Neil Vera, who was fired late last year, also pleaded guilty to official misconduct. He will serve weekends in jail for six months. Detective Christian Koch will serve eight weekends in jail. He had been under suspension since the officers were indicted in October and resigned Thursday. Both acknowledged misleading a Yonkers judge in a sworn affidavit on March 21, 2014, seeking a search warrant for the third-floor apartment at 141 School St. Once the warrant was issued, police raided the apartment and the tenant, Dario Tena, fell nearly 40 feet to his death.
