TAMMY SYTCH LEGAL UPDATE

By Mike Johnson on 2016-03-25 14:09:00

WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch's scheduled sentencing for her multiple DUI arrests last year has been postponed from it's scheduled date this Monday 3/28 to Tuesday 5/17 at 9 AM at Carbon County Court in Pennsylvania.

Sytch, who has been hospitalized at least twice in recent months, wrote on social media that she was going on a "retreat" and would not be available on social media, advising friends to reach out to her via her sister.  The court in PA had been conducting, at her request, a pre-sentencing investigation into her background and personal issues that led up to her arrests last year. 

PWInsider.com has confirmed that Sytch is that her "retreat" is her latest effort to treat and deal with her personal issues.  It may be that the court has recommended Sytch enter a program to assist her with her personal issues and have postponed sentencing until they learn how that process goes.

On 5/30/15, Sytch was stopped by Mahoning Township, PA police after being seen driving erratically into a Wal-Mart parking lot. A test showed a 0.25 percent Blood-Alcohol level.

On 6/1/15, Sytch was pulled over after her car crossed the solid center yellow line several times and then entered oncoming traffic on Interchange Road in Lehighton, PA.  Sytch was unable to provide proof of insurance or a drivers license and was identified via authorities checking records.  When he stopped her at 10510 Interchange Road, Lazarchick said she was unable to provide a driver’s license and proof of insurance. He identified her through a records check.  Trooper Jonathan Lazarchick of the Pennsylvania State Police reported that her eyes were bloodshot and glassy and that she smelled like alcohol.  There was an open bottle of Coors Light in the passenger side of the vehicle and another 11 unopened.  The open cap was on the floor of her passenger's side.  Sytch claimed she had been drinking the night before, was driving to pick up milk and eggs and when asked to get out of the vehicle, staggered, had problems with her balance and needed to lean on her car to maintain her balance.    Her blood-alcohol content was 0.3 percent.

On 6/20/15, Sytch crashed her car into a ditch in Towamensing Township at 10:40 p.m. and claimed to authorities responding that her GPS had told her to made a "sudden turn", leading to her turning too wide and ending up in the ditch.  Sytch told authorities that she was unable to back the car back out.   Cpl. Shawn Noonan of the Pennsylvania State Police observed the odor of alcohol and bloodshot eyes.  He requested Sytch take a field sobriety test but she claimed to be "in too much pain due to her recently blacking out and falling down the steps."  She was taken under arrest for DUI and was given a breathalyzer test back at police barracks.   The results of that test were 0.078 percent.  Sytch would later claim on social media, in response to PWInsider.com reporting of the case, she was not arrested for DUI when she crashed her car because she had a "seizure."

Sytch plead guilty to DUI in all three cases with the court dismissing all of the lesser charges in each case.  The Judge presiding over the case has previously stated there would be mandatory prison terms on two of the counts against her.  If she is approved for PA's Intermediate Prisoner Program, she would also be subject to house arrest following her prison term.

Sytch, who released both an autobiography and an adult video this year, will find out her fate in May.
