A Buffalo man faces up to 35 years in prison in connection with a crash that killed a 40-year-old Detroit police officer walking a beat in the city’s Greektown entertainment district.

Saddam Mohsin, 30, pleaded guilty Thursday in Wayne County Circuit Court to second-degree murder and operating under the influence causing death.

He will be sentenced Feb. 13. The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office says the plea includes a sentence agreement of 18 to 35 years.

Mohsin is accused of driving the wrong way June 5 when his Ford Focus struck Officer Charles Armour, who was on foot patrol. The 16-year police veteran died six days later.
