eck sclusive i am happy that it wasnt you stuck under a motorcycle with a truck bearing down on you , i hope if you were in that situation your man would stand up and defend you ! mr eck admits that he shifted his truck back into drive

...........after i had to fight to put it in drive as he was attempting to run over my wife and rammed her and the motorcycle for a second time ........

 

but on the news that night says he never hit my motorcycle all you have to do to find the truth is read the police report available at the ajpd public information desk it called trhe freedom of information act ... while you are at it why not ask for any and all calls and CAD event times for all parties involved and then you can be more informed than just his word ........or mine for that matter and informed decision rathwer than " my daddy didnt do it !"

You're right, Eric!  "driving while on prescription drugs is not a defense to dui..." 

http://www.abc15.com/content/news/westvalley/peoria/story/PD-Driver-tested-for-prescription-drugs-after/bg2Q-Wzgy06fCwd93ubzXQ.cspx

Peoria Police Spokesman "Davies said 54-year-old Dennis Schaffer was being investigated for impairment with prescription drugs.
Davies said Schaffer was arrested and booked on a DUI charge and could face a charge of manslaughter."


There are standards here in Arizona.  Let's hope Apache Junction measures up!

driving while on prescription drugs is not a defense to dui .......

you have to be takingthe medication as prescribed........and on every bottle it says may cause drowsiness  use care when operating machinery .

are you saying that his doctor told him its cool to drive while on long term use of oxycotton?

we could sue his doctor as well or he could to pay us !

no doctor would say that its ok to drive while under the influence of a drug that makes you dizzy and helps you sleep ......its for the pain of chronic FATIGE syndrome and makes you even more tired it doesnt make youa better driver now does it ?

you have to be using the medication in the priscribed way .........takeing an UNDETERMINED amount isnt the prescribed way !!!

im sure the doctor didnt say take as much as you want and drive !

Miss Eck,

He could have lost consciousness because of say, for instance having drugs in his system, or the adrenalin rush he would have had with regards to the incident could have reacted to the possible drugs in his system. 

Abrasions as quoted in the (lengthier) article in today's The Independent  - not this abridged version - don't usually cause loss of consciousnes.  Contusions might. 

Ask a doctor to explain all this to you.

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); confusion; difficulty urinating; fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; seizures; severe dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; slowed or difficult breathing; tremor; vision changes.


in the police report it states that he lost consiousnes 3 times ........sounds like the side affects to continued use of this drug and the manufacturer of this medication states that these affects are worsened by long term use ....after the body gets a tolerence for the medication it takes more and  more to control not only the pain but the addiction as well





What are its long-term effects?

Chronic use of opioids can result in tolerance for the drugs, which means that users must take higher doses to achieve the same initial effects. Long-term use also can lead to physical dependence and addiction -- the body adapts to the presence of the drug, and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped.Properly managed medical use of pain relievers is safe and rarely causes clinical addiction, defined as compulsive, often uncontrollable use of drugs. Taken exactly as prescribed, opioids can be used to manage pain effectively.

so if he has been on this medication since 2005 how much does he take and if its time release it was most definatly in his system or he was comming down wasnt he??

withdrawls are sever and mood swings  he isnt a victim here mr serdy and the cover-up isnt going well is it ...

 

 stay tuned

Real quiet about R.E.EckII.  Isn't it?

Fifty have viewed but noone has responded until me the 51st viewer of the site.  Why?  You are all usually opinionated. 

Funny how we won't get those toxicology results until after the Lost Dutchman Days.  Hmmm, it looks like all charges are still in play as far as I can tell.

Damage control must be in full swing.

 

OOPS, shouldn't have said that.

EF

Eck case awaits results


PCSO: Narcotic toxicology report ready in 3 weeks


By Terrance Thornton
Independent Newspapers


Late last year Apache Junction Vice Mayor R.E. Eck Jr. was involved in what the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office had coined a "road-rage" incident.


No charges have been filed against Vice Mayor Eck — they were declined by the Gila County Attorney’s Office after its review of charge-seeking documents provided by PCSO officials — but one of two toxicology reports are awaited by law enforcement officials.


The first, to test alcohol content in the blood stream, was negative. The other, sent to the Arizona Department of Public Safety Phoenix Headquarters, has not been returned to law enforcement officials.


That test will be able to tell if Vice Mayor Eck was on any narcotics while operating his motor vehicle at about noon, Oct. 2, PCSO officials say.


In records received by three law enforcement agencies, Vice Mayor Eck admitted to taking oxycodin the night prior to the Oct. 2 incident, which is in relation to treatment for fibromyalgia.


The question that will be answered by the toxicology lab results — the blood was sent to DPS on Oct. 23 — are if narcotics were present in Vice Mayor Eck’s blood stream, how much of that substance was present and if he was under the influence to the slightest degree, law enforcement officials say.


The only charges Vice Mayor Eck may face would be DUI misdemeanor charges pending the outcome of the toxicology report, law enforcement officials say.


Vice Mayor Eck says he expects to pass the narcotics screening just like he did the alcohol test.


"I already cleared one test through another test at another lab," he said in a Feb. 2 phone interview. "Like I say, I completely cleared through another lab. I don’t know the requirements of doing a secondary testing."
While Vice Mayor Eck did respond to questions when asked, he declined to divulge any other details surrounding the alleged "road-rage incident."


"I don’t know what exactly I can tell you," he said of instructions provided by his legal counsel. "I don’t do illegal drugs for anything."


Following the Feb. 2 phone interview, Vice Mayor Eck left a statement on the matter in a phone message.


"I believe in my and my son’s innocence in the matter of the incident that happened Oct. 2," he said in the voice mail. "I believe in our innocence and always have."


Mr. Eck says he is looking forward to the final outcome of the toxicology report.


"I look forward to weathering the storm until this process is over," he explained. "When I hear the process is over, I will make plenty of statements, but until that time I am going to follow my attorney’s advice and remain pretty tight lipped."


The incident


According to a synopsis of records received through three separate public records requests filed with the PCSO, GCAO and Pinal County Attorney’s Office, the following transpired at about noon, Oct. 2:


"A 1998 green Chevrolet pickup rear-ended a 2008 black and red Harley Davidson motorcycle causing minor damages to the Harley Davidson motorcycle. After the collision took place, an altercation occurred between the driver of the motorcycle, Eric Martinez and the occupants of the Chevrolet pick-up truck, Robert Eck Jr. and Robert Eck III. (Mr. Martinez) proceeded to strike Robert Eck Jr. with a closed right fist to his face, and in turn Robert Eck Jr. intentionally rammed the motorcycle with a female passenger still seated, Christine Martinez," according to the final report synopsis penned by the reporting PCSO deputy.


The accident occurred in the No. 2 westbound lane on Old West Highway where it intersects at Idaho Road.


Following the altercation, Vice Mayor Eck was taken to Apache Junction Fire District Fire Station 263, 1645 S. Idaho Road, to address his "non-life threatening nor incapacitating injuries," according to sheriff’s reports.


Although Vice Mayor Eck’s injuries were reported by PCSO officials as "non-life threatening," he lost consciousness three times requiring an airlift to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn hospital, records state.


Ms. Martinez, who was sitting on the back of the motorcycle when Vice Mayor Eck’s pick-up truck hit it, sustained "non-life threatening nor incapacitating injuries" and was taken to Banner Baywood Medical Center via ambulance, records state.


All involved in the incident were released from the hospital, according to PCSO officials.


Upon the investigation following the incident, PCSO investigators sought aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges against Vice Mayor Eck, records state.


Blood was drawn from Vice Mayor Eck and sent to the Arizona Department of Public Safety for processing, records state.


Since that time, the alcohol portion of the blood test came back negative, but a test gauging the presence of narcotics is still pending, according to PCSO spokeswoman Lt. Tamatha Villar.


Reporting PCSO Deputy K. Nardelli reported the vice mayor’s recent use of oxycodin from speaking to a doctor at the hospital.


The report states: "I departed from the scene and responded to the Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center and contacted Robert Eck Jr. while at the emergency room," the deputy’s report states. "I then spoke with Robert’s attending physician, Dr. Smolenski, who advised me that Robert was in good condition and sustained very minor injury to the left side of his face. Dr. Smolenski advised me that Robert takes oxycodin for fibromyalgia."


Vice Mayor Eck, in Deputy Nardelli’s report, states he did not take any pain medication the day of the incident, but had taken an undetermined amount of oxycodin the night before.


Deputy Nardelli alleges Vice Mayor Eck’s truck hit the motorcycle twice, the first being when both vehicles reached Old West Highway and Idaho Road, which instigated the altercation, the deputy said in a report.


"Based on witness statements and on-scene evidence, the green Chevrolet pick-up driven by Robert Eck Jr., collided with the rear end of the Harley Davidson motorcycle," Deputy Nardelli’s report states. "After the initial collision, an altercation took place and Robert Eck Jr. intentionally rammed the motorcycle for a second time while Eric’s wife, Christine Martinez, was still seated on the rear, causing her to sustain minor injuries."


Following the incident, the case was forwarded to the Pinal County Attorney’s Office for review and possible prosecution, but the PCAO declined to pursue the case, PCSO officials say.


"Under the circumstances, I believe it is necessary to request the review and prosecution of this matter by another office," said Pinal County Attorney James P. Walsh, referencing a previous aggravated assault case involving Vice Mayor Eck in an Oct. 7 letter to the Gila County Attorney’s Office. "For this reason, I am asking you to consider accepting this matter as a conflict of interest."


Lab report


Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu says the topic of the toxicology report has become a common inquiry in his office from the general public.


"We actually just had a couple others inquire about that," he said in a Feb. 2 phone interview of various nonprofit victims’ rights organizations. "We had the initial clearance for the alcohol, but we have not yet received any results from the drug toxicology."


Sheriff Babeu says his deputies, who responded to the call out initiated by the Apache Junction Police Department, acted in accordance with the law.


"We are not the prosecutor; this will not be covered up — that is not going to happen here," he said of issues surrounding this case. "It is imperative that justice will be served."


According to Sheriff Babeu, and confirmed by Robert Bailey, DPS public information officer, the average wait time for results from a narcotics screen for blood drawn takes from 30 to 90 days.


"I wish it was quicker, in terms of getting that information back," Sheriff Babeu said noting that priority cases take precedence on report times. "It is not a homicide... There is not immediate threat or harm to people at this point, but I thought they would have had that by now."


Officer Bailey says he does not know when those toxicology reports will be made available to both the general public and Pinal County law enforcement officials.


"Basically if they are impaired; but this isn’t our investigation, we are only doing the lab report," he explained in a Feb. 2 phone interview of what the lab results will show. "If you are prescribed something and if they are impairing you to the slightest degree."


Officer Bailey pointed out that the narcotics in question are prescribed by a doctor.


"If I am taking a prescription medicine that is a defense," he said. "But that does not mean you are out of the woods."
