17 August 2023<\/time>\n<\/p>\nWWE legend Tammy Sytch is reportedly facing 25 years in prison after pleading no contest to a charge of DUI causing death.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tammy Sytch could be facing jail time<\/p>\n
\nThe 50-year-old star – who is best known as Sunny and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011 – was first served the charge along with seven others in May 2022 after allegedly killing a 75-year-old man in a drunken car collision two months earlier.<\/p>\n
\nAs reported by TMZ, she changed her pleas on Wednesday (16.08.23) in a Volusia County courtroom, having previously pleaded not guilty to all eight charges.<\/p>\n
\nAccording to court documents, she pleaded no contest to felony DUI causing death.<\/p>\n
\nShe is also said to have made the same plea amid a felony charge of driving with license suspended causing death, two misdemeanour charges of DUI with damage to property and four misdemeanour counts of DUI with damage to a person.<\/p>\n
\nSytch’s sentencing hearing is yet to be set but it’s thought she could face a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.<\/p>\n
\nShe has been in prison since May 2022 after prosecturs claimed she collided while on the road, smashing her car into the back of another vehicle – which was said to have been stopped at a traffic light at the time – on a road in Florida in March 2022.<\/p>\n
\nOfficials assigned to the case alleged that at the time of the incident, Sytch had a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher.<\/p>\n
\nAlthough she initially received bond in the case, just days later she was sent to prison after prosecutors determined she was too much of a risk to the community.<\/p>\n
\nA judge said at the time: “The defendant is a threat to the community and I do not feel that a monitor would protect the community.”<\/p>\n
\nThey added: “I do find that the state has met the burden, I am going to grant this motion and we\u2019ll be taking you into custody today.”<\/p>\n
\nShe has been accused of drinking and driving and was arrested at least six times for obstructed use of a vehicle in the past.<\/p>\n
\nIn July 2020, she was arrested on charges of eluding a police officer, violating a domestic violence restraining order and operating a vehicle during a second license suspension.<\/p>\n
\nShe was released from prison 11 months later, and told WrestleZone.com: “I am happy to be finished with my sentence and I am anxious to start the next chapter of my life. I am healthy and happy and feel great.<\/p>\n
\n“The incident which led to this last incarceration stemmed from some major misunderstandings.<\/p>\n
\n“However I accept responsibility and have used this time to make a better me and put my past mistakes behind me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
