Seven And The Eight Ball

Ohio Disciplinary Counsel has charged an already suspended attorney who had entered treatment after a series of alcohol-related driving offenses but allegedly lapsed into criminal conduct.

According to the charges, he began treatment in September 2017 and maintained sobriety “until the summer of 2019, during which [he] relapsed and resumed drinking heavily.”

He allegedly began buying cocaine after he relapsed from a woman named Alicia. 

Alicia introduced him to a man who called himself Seven “because he had a tattoo of the number 7 between his eyes near the bridge of his nose.”

He bought cocaine from Seven that was delivered by a 15-year old A.L. and he paid in cash or by Venmo.

After he consumed an “entire eight ball of cocaine by himself,” he accepted Seven’s offer of additional cocaine and oral sex for $500.

He paid by Venmo.

A.L. performed the oral sex, after which she showered with Respondent, who touched her genital area.

She was in a traffic accident after leaving Respondent and disclosed the above conduct; he was charged with a host of offenses.

He pled guilty to state charges and testified against Seven in a federal case. His expected release date is February 2025. (Mike Frisch)
