DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Former WWE star Tammy “Sunny” Sytch was sentenced Monday to more than 17 years in prison for a crash that killed a 75-year-old man in Daytona Beach.
The judge handed down the sentence just after 3 p.m., which includes eight years of probation following the completion of her incarceration.
Sytch was granted a credit of 566 days for her sentence.
Sytch was arrested in May 2022, following a crash in March of that year that killed Julian LaFrancis Lasseter, of Daytona Beach.
Sytch was arrested on several charges, including DUI causing death, causing death while operating a motor vehicle with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, four counts of DUI causing injury to a person and three counts of DUI causing damage to property.
At the time of the crash, police said Sytch’s blood alcohol content was three and a half times the legal limit.
A sentencing hearing is underway Monday and will resume after a lunch break.
She faces up to 26 years in prison.
Sytch performed in the WWE in the 1990s under the ring name Sunny. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011.
