Police said they found cocaine and a scale in a duffle bag Ludwig used to clean out his patrol car. Ludwig's attorney originally said his client was innocent and that it wasn't unusual for suspects to hide things in police cars.

Ludwig was suspended in November and resigned from the force in January, 2010. 

Sentencing is scheduled for November 10.
