YOUNGSTOWN — The man prosecutors said was the debt-collection enforcer for the former Fat Man’s Auto Sales used-car dealership has been sentenced to three years’ probation.

Judge John M. Durkin of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court imposed that sentence today on Paul Lacey, 53, of Rush Boulevard.

Judge Durkin, however, warned Lacey that any violation of the terms of his probation would result in a five-year prison term on each of the two counts to which Lacey pleaded guilty.
