Eckel receives probation after embezzlement case ruling
Eckel faced restitution of 180 dollars in fees while a fourth degree drug charge was dropped due to past DA staff involvement. Dr. Smith, the plaintiff in a civil suit, accused Eckel of looting over 1 million from his dental practice, including 300000 in cash and 83000 in checks to her children. He hailed the outcome as the law imposing punishment, with Eckel and her husband facing ongoing civil scrutiny over a trust and related transfers.
