ELYRIA — Former Lorain Safety-Service Director Craig Miller has been released from probation early.

County Common Pleas Judge Christopher Rothgery, who sentenced Miller to 10 days in jail and three years of probation in October 2006, ended Miller’s probation Tuesday at the request of his probation officer.

Miller, who was convicted of obstruction of justice for lying to police investigating the city’s rental of heavy equipment in 2002 and 2003, had no problems while he was on probation, according to the request to end his probation.

Miller resigned after his conviction, but has never admitted guilt in the case insisting that he made a mistake when he told police the contracts — which led to the conviction of two other people — were legal.

The 9th District Court of Appeals upheld Miller’s conviction earlier this year, but he has appealed that decision to the Ohio Supreme Court.
