WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch, AKA Sunny, has now been arrested and charged in relation to the traffic fatality incident on March 25.
As we covered previously, 75-year-old Julian Lafrancis Lasseter died after it was believed Sytch had crashed into him and caused a three-car collision in Ormond Beach, Florida.
In the time between the incident and today, police had been awaiting Sytch’s toxicology results after they believed she was under the influence of alcohol at the time.
Via PWInsider, the toxicology results came back, and Sytch was arrested today for a total of nine charges and is now being processed into Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach.
The nine charges are DUI Manslaughter, Driving with a Suspended or Revoked License (Causing Death or Serious Injury), and seven charges of DUI Causing Damage to a Person or Property.
DUI Manslaughter is a felony in Florida, and if Sytch is convicted, she could face up to 30 years in prison, with the minimum sentence being four years.
Sytch’s bond for the DUI Manslaughter charge is $200,000 with the bonds for the other changes adding up to a further $27,500.
Lassetter’s estate has also filed a civil lawsuit against Sytch and her boyfriend James Pente, who, according to the Ormond Beach police report, is the registered owner of the car she was driving. The lawsuit is seeking in excess of $100,000 in damages.
We’ll keep you posted with any further updates on the situation.
