BOSTON (AP) - A Saugus man has pleaded guilty in federal court to charges that he sold New England Patriots offensive lineman Nick Kaczur about 300 Oxycontin pills. The charges against Daniel Ekasala were based on three transactions between the two men in May that were secretly recorded by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Kaczur is not named in court records but has been identified as the cooperating witness by Bernard Grossberg, Ekasala's defense attorney. Grossberg says Kaczur went undercover for the federal agency after he was stopped for speeding in New York and was caught with Oxycontin pills in his vehicle. The drug charges were put on hold if Kaczur stays out of trouble for six months. Ekasala, who pleaded guilty on Thursday, faces a maximum of nearly five years in prison at sentencing in December.
