A former Memphis police officer who pleaded guilty in August to beating a transgender prisoner in 2008 pleaded guilty Monday to an additional charge of failing to pay more than $18,000 in federal taxes.

Bridges Sutton McRae entered the plea before U.S. Dist. Court Judge S. Thomas Anderson, who will sentence him on both cases in March.

Under a plea agreement, federal prosecutors will recommend a total sentence of two years in prison, though the judge is not bound by that agreement.
