NEW ORLEANS—A prolific narcotics agent was sentenced on Thursday to more than 13 years behind bars for stealing money from suspects, falsifying government records, and committing perjury during a federal trial.

U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo said the longtime U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent, Chad A. Scott, caused “far reaching” damage “to the administration of justice.”
