Former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik is reportedly planning to plead guilty Thursday morning to avoid three pending criminal trials.

Sources tell the Associated Press a plea deal could land Kerik in prison for about two-and-a-half years.

His attorney says he could not confirm nor deny a plea agreement.

Kerik faces three separate federal trials, including a trial that was set to get underway Monday.

After a judge revoked his bail for sharing secret pretrial information, Kerik spent more than a week in a psychiatric unit of the Westchester County jail.

He’s accused of accepting renovations to his co-op from a contractor looking to do business with the city.

He’s also facing trials on a tax fraud indictment and an indictment for making false statements on his application for Homeland Security Secretary.

Kerik faced up to 140 years in prison if convicted of corruption and fraud charges.
