He faces a maximum sentence of more than 60 years in federal prison.
The Discovery Bay resident was first arrested on similar state charges in front of the San Ramon Police Department last May.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office turned the case over to federal investigators over the summer.
Also charged in both state and federal court in the scandal are former CNET Cmdr. Norman Wielsch, 50, former Antioch police officer and private investigator Christopher Butler, 49, and former Danville police Officer Stephen Tanabe, 48.
A grand jury indicted Wielsch and Butler last August on charges of stealing from a federally financed program, selling marijuana and

A former San Ramon police officer who was also a member of an antidrug unit in Contra Costa County pleaded guilty Thursday to charges that he sold drugs with his commanding officer, stole jewelry and cash from crime scenes and possessed stolen guns.
Louis Lombardi, 39, also admitted that during a four-year period, he had pocketed at least $40,000 in cash from alleged drug dealers and prostitutes while serving search warrants.
Lombardi was taken into custody in federal court in Oakland after admitting to nine felony counts of possession and intent to sell drugs, possession of stolen firearms, conspiracy to maintain a drug-involved premise and deprivation of rights under color of law. He faces a maximum sentence of more than 60 years in federal prison.
In exchange for his admission and possible testimony against his former boss at the Contra Costa antinarcotics task force, Lombardi hopes a judge will show leniency when he is sentenced April 18, his attorney said.

Former San Ramon police officer Louis Lombardi was taken into federal custody Thursday after pleading guilty to nine felonies for his role in the corruption probe involving the Central Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Team.
Sentencing was scheduled for April 18.
CNET, an elite vice squad funded by the Department of Justice and manned by officers from Contra Costa police agencies, was suspended in February when its commander, Norman Wielsch, and private investigator Christopher Butler were arrested on suspicion of selling stolen drug evidence.
The scandal expanded to include the arrests of Lombardi and Danville officer Stephen Tanabe and further allegations of officers operating a brothel, and setting up men for drunken driving arrests to be used as leverage in family law cases.

People in the courtroom Thursday were shocked to hear a police officer who has been in law enforcement for 20 years admit he took part in several serious crimes that spanned several years. 
In court, Lombardi described stealing money and other items during search warrants, using Narcotic Enforcement Team (CNET) money to buy a stolen firearm from an informant, selling drugs back to an informant from whom he seized it from, and taking two guns he logged as being destroyed. He also admitted to planning to open a illegal marijuana grow house with the intent to sell the pot to a contact in Arizona. He said most of his crimes were done with the help of police officer Norman Wielsch and a private investigator named Christopher Butler.
Federal prosecutors said Lombardi stole $40,000 worth of goods during searches of homes and massage parlors.

… When I try to find places on Google Maps, it keeps giving me directions to cat houses and massage parlors and strip clubs. I use Adsense on my blog. But now, all the ads are for penis pills, inflatable sex dolls and Dustin Diamond movies. The Google SS guy who follows me around is constantly trying to solicit prostitutes with weird fetishes for me. Keeps saying it’s a good match based on my frequent searches for ‘football.’ Then there’s what happened this morning. I wanted to read about how Rick Santorum was doing against Gingrich and Romney. But Google won’t pull up those results. Instead, it pesters me with, ‘Did you mean anal lubricant and new gang rape mitts?’ I sell landscaping tools. Just guess what Google suggests when I try to find a deal on hoes or seed sacks. Yeah, it’s ridiculous, but at least I don’t have Yahoo employees outside my house begging for change or Facebook’s Timeline.”

Floral Park residents can bet their bottom dollar that Mayor Thomas J. Tweedy and the Board of Trustees are not vying for a casino at Belmont Park. In his Mayor’s Message dated Jan. 9, Mayor Tweedy wrote, “I have worked diligently as mayor to avoid having a casino at Belmont Park, and that remains a top priority for this new year of 2012.” He reiterated that proclamation at the Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 17, which came on the heels of a Stop the Belmont Casino community meeting initiated by concerned residents the week before.
“I want to thank all of you for your support and for your efforts,” Mayor Tweedy said before opening up the floor to residents.
“Why do we need another casino built, while others are struggling for financial survival?” asked a Carnation Avenue resident, who suggested that the majority of Nassau County residents who live in the area around the proposed casino are against it. He also expressed concern over the negative social implications a casino in Floral Park’s backyard would bring, namely “exposing the local school children to alcoholism, gambling and prostitution.”

In “Norm Wielsch: On the Record,” Peter Crooks interviews the former commander of CNET (the Central Conta Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team), who was arrested in February 2011 on a raft of charges involving the attempted sale of police confiscated methamphetamine and marijuana, “dirty DUI” charges and running a brothel.
Wielsch agreed to the interview as long as he had a chance to apologize to police officers, the California Department of Justice and “all citizens that trusted me with my position. I violated their trust.”
Wielsch, 50, went to College Park High School in Pleasant Hill. His dad ran an auto repair shop in Walnut Creek.
In the interview, Wielsch denied profiting from the Pleasant Hill brothel. He tells the story of how for many years he has been depressed for many reasons, including coping with his daughter’s battle with aplastic anemia.
