Tyler Smith pleads guilty for felony evading for his 20 minute chase with police and gets three years in “community corrections” (“Man who led police on 20-minute chase avoids jail time,” June 21). Another Herringer decision from the bench.
Excerpt from the article:
“Smith’s wife, Veronica Smith, told Judge Herringer her husband suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder from his previous interactions with police and, when he saw a sheriff’s deputy chasing him, fled for fear of going back to prison.”
Am I dreaming here? Smith’s PTSD is from previous police contact?
This looks more like “puppy court.”
