Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie says two men have been convicted in separate cases involving large amounts of narcotics brought from New York City into Clinton County. Prosecutors say Perry Dickson pleaded guilty after police found nearly nine ounces of cocaine taped to his leg following a January traffic stop in Plattsburgh. He is expected to receive nine years in prison at sentencing in July. Authorities also announced Guido Pion De Leon has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after investigators seized 12 ounces of crack cocaine and nearly two ounces of fentanyl during a 2025 drug investigation.

Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
