ZANESVILLE - A Zanesville man whose criminal record began long before turning 18 is heading to prison once more.
On Wednesday, 38-year-old Ross Zwelling was sentenced to three years in prison, which is half the time argued for by the prosecution on two third-degree felony charges of possession of cocaine and tampering with evidence.
Zwelling was arrested at the beginning of the year after police found him slumped over the steering wheel of his car.

ZANESVILLE - A former office manager who is accused of embezzling nearly $60,000 from a Zanesville dermatologist pleaded guilty Tuesday morning.
Attorneys are recommending 49-year-old Trisha Wyer of Philo be sentenced to community control and pay $12,000 in restitution as punishment.
According to Assistant Prosecutor John Litle, Wyer quit her job working in 2017 when the office s accounting firm noticed an irregularity and began to investigate.
Litle said Wyer quit showing up to work after she was questioned.
For the next six months, an internal investigation continued.
According to Litle, Wyer took with her the passwords to the accounts and would not cooperate with the office to return that information, thus hindering their investigation.
