Ex-Sopranos Star RELEASED FROM PRISON After Burglary Conviction
Lillo Brancato Jr. -- who starred in "The Sopranos" and "A Bronx Tale" -- has been released from prison on parole ... 8 years after he was involved in the killing of an off-duty NYPD officer.
Brancato was sentenced to 10 years in prison back in 2009 after he was convicted of attempted burglary in a 2005 incident that resulted in the death of Officer Daniel Enchautegui.
Brancato was acquitted of murder, but his co-defendant was found guilty of shooting and killing the officer and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Brancato was considered a rising star in Hollywood before the incident ... playing Calogero Anello in 1993's "A Bronx Tale" and Christopher Moltisanti's mob lackey Matthew Bevilaqua in "The Sopranos."
The 37-year-old actor was released on parole early this morning. So far, he has yet to comment.
Cops are FURIOUS with his release ... in fact, the NYC Patrolmen's Benevolent Association (a police labor union) released a scathing statement saying:
"It is our firm belief that Lillo Brancato is guilty of the murder of police officer Daniel Enchautegui even though he was only convicted of attempted burglary."
"The entire law enforcement community will be watching and the minute he steps out of line, we’ll be sure that he is returned to prison to finish out the rest of his sentence."

Justin Bieber Bodyguards Busted After Alleged Cop Attack
12:45 PM PT -- According to a police report obtained by TMZ ... Arana became loud and disorderly -- demanding to know why his friend (Hesny) had been arrested. Police say Arana "took a fighting stance and clinged (sic) his fist" and resisted arrest until officers put him on the ground and "delivered numerous knee strikes" to Arana's ribs. The arresting officer also reported smelling alcohol on Arana's breath.
What's still unclear -- why his pal Hesny was arrested in the first place.
Two of Justin Bieber's security goons were busted in Florida after allegedly attacking a cop TMZ has learned ... and for once Justin's got an airtight alibi.
We got video of bodyguards Hugo Hesny and Michael Arana leaving jail in Miami Sunday. Police confirmed the two were arrested Saturday night after a "Miami Meet Up" for Justin's new movie in Aventura, Florida.
The words "meet up" -- like the words "I'm retiring" -- are confusing, turns out JB himself was NOT in Florida -- he was up in Canada snowmobiling.
Details of the incident are sketchy ... but we know Hesny was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer and his bail was set at $10.5K. Arana was popped for disorderly conduct and bail was set at $1,500.

DMX Get Off the Road! Busted Behind Wheel Again
Rapper DMX needs a professional driver to keep him out of jail -- he just got arrested ... again ... for three offenses while driving at the airport in South Carolina.

X is familiar with the suspended license charge -- he's been slapped with that one multiple times. His most recent busts were for allegedly possessing weed (in Aug.) ... and an alleged DUI (in July).
