The tragic downfall of Tammy Sytch has reached perhaps its lowest point, as theWWEHall of Famer was arrested this past weekend and is facing a litany of charges, chief among them DUI Manslaughter (Driving under the influence causing the death of a person) in relation to the fatal car accident in late March that took the life of one Julian Lasseter.Sytch has also come under fire from several otherWWEveterans, all of whom are calling for her removal from the Hall of Fame after news of her severely irresponsible actions leading to her arrest broke out to the public. In addition to the DUI Manslaughter charge,Sytch faces a chargeof driving with a suspended/revoked license and causing serious injury and/or death, as well as seven counts of DUI causing damage to a person or property. If convicted on the manslaughter charge, a felony in the state of Florida, Sytch is looking at a sentence of up to 30 years in prison, with a bare minimum sentence of four years and up to $10,000 in fines.RELATED:Tammy ‘Sunny’ Sytch Claims ‘Seizure’ Caused Fatal Car AccidentSytch’s formal arrest came on Saturday, May 7 in Ormond Beach, Florida, a little under two months removed from her involvement in a fatal car accident on U.S. Highway 1 in Flordia’s Volusia County, the accident occurring when Sytch ran a red light at an intersection, crashing into Lasseter’s vehicle at a reported speed of 30 mph, which in turn caused Lasseter’s car to crash into another. While all three drivers were taken to a nearby medical facility to be treated and stabilized, only Sytch and the third driver survived, as Lasseter would succumb to his injuries before the end of the night. A toxicology report based on a sample of Sytch’s blood taken via search warrant would confirm that she was well over the limit of inebriation, as her blood alcohol content (BAC) was confirmed to be 0.280, three-and-a-half times the legal limit. Sytch was initially processed at the Volusia County Branch Jail and held on a $227,500 bond, $200,000 of which comes from the DUI Manslaughter charge. Following a short morning court appearance, she would make bail at around noon time after a surety bond was posted by a bail bondsman. Her arraignment is set for May 31.
Sytch’s actions have drawn the ireof many people, including fellow wrestling veterans. Former WWE trainer Bill DeMott and his family have issued a press release on behalf of the Keri Anne DeMott Foundation, calling for Sytch to be formally removed from the WWE Hall of Fame, with another Hall of Famer in “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry seconding the notion on social media. DeMott founded the organization in 2016 and has been railing against the notion of drunk driving for several years after losing his daughter Keri Anne in a 2015 drunk driving accident.
It is sadly not surprising to see where this situation has ended up and, as the above mugshot will tell you, Sytch clearly has no remorse for her actions and honestly believes she had very little to do with Lasseter’s unfortunate demise. The evidence and her actions before, during, and after the accident, though, are as clear as day, and we can only hope that she will eventually answer in full for the tragedy she has wrought.
