ELYRIA — A Wakeman man avoided prison Monday during his sentencing hearing on drug trafficking and other charges.
Jack Ecker, 49, was sentenced to three years of probation. He pleaded guilty in November to drug trafficking, possession of drugs, possession of criminal tools, possession of drug paraphernalia and carrying a concealed weapon.
Police have said that Ecker was part of a large-scale drug distribution network throughout Greater Cleveland that was broken up in late 2008.
Among those charged in the case is Olga Velez, a county judge’s former secretary.
