Nicole Bobek is seen on closed-circuit television from Hudson County jail as her lawyer, Sam DeLuca,
appears at Central Judicial Processing in Jersey City today.

JERSEY CITY - Former U.S. figure skating champion Nicole Bobek has been sentenced to five years probation for her role in a northern New Jersey drug distribution ring.

Bobek choked up as she spoke of how sorry she was during sentencing in Jersey City today. The 32-year-old pleaded guilty in June to a charge of conspiring to distribute crystal methamphetamine.

She was among 28 people accused last July of running a network that allegedly distributed $10,000 worth of methamphetamine per week.

The alleged leader of the group, Edward Cruz Jr., was sentenced Aug. 12 to 16 years in prison.

The Jupiter, Fla., resident won the U.S. figure skating title in 1995, but finished 17th at the 1998 Winter Olympics.
