A former officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office faces up to five years in prison after he was convicted Monday for his role in a money-laundering scheme, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

A federal jury found 48-year-old Michael Rounsville of Callahan guilty of accessing a law enforcement database without authorization for financial gain and in furtherance of a money-laundering scheme, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

The jury also found 41-year-old Erick Estrada-Lopez of Jacksonville guilty of conspiracy to commit money laundering. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

Evidence shows an undercover agent who was posing as a drug dealer convinced a man to launder $200,000 for him, and Estrada-Lopez accepted $42,000 in cash as part of that operation.

Rounsville ran the name of the undercover agent through an FBI database as well as the Florida’s Driver and Vehicle Information Database at the request of others involved in the scheme, federal prosecutors said. Both databases are only accessible by law enforcement officials, and Rounsville reported his findings to others.

A co-defendant who testified against Rounsville said he delivered an envelope with an unknown amount of cash to him while the officer was working an off-duty assignment at a construction site, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Six others previously pleaded guilty for their roles in the scheme.

Rounsville and Estrada-Lopez are scheduled to be sentenced the week of Feb. 27.
