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.

A federal judge has revoked bail for former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who is awaiting trial on corruption charges.

The judge said during a three-hour pre-trial conference today that he was revoking the $500,000 bail because Kerik disclosed private information about the trial to an attorney, who then leaked the information to the Washington Post. The information was not published.

Kerik is accused of accepting apartment renovations from a construction company in exchange for recommending them for city contracts. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges, among others.

His trial is expected to begin Monday.
