Man gets 6 years in jail

WARREN

John W. Kucek, 47, of Youngstown Road Southeast, was sentenced to six years in prison Monday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court after pleading guilty to felonious assault in a July 2, 2015, assault on a Sam’s Club employee.

Surveillance video of the back of the store showed the employee, 27, of Masury, being carried by the truck in circles before he fell off and hit the ground.

The incident occurred at 12:30 p.m. while Kucek was trying to steal a display rack that had been placed just behind the store waiting for the company that delivered it full of goods to retrieve it after it was empty.

The worker grabbed the front of the truck and hung on for 26 seconds, said Diane Barber, assistant county prosecutor. He suffered scrapes and bruises.
