BRENHAM MAN SENTENCED FOR HEAVY CAR DAMAGE
Dissatisfaction with an amplifier, a short car chase into the county, and heavy damage to a man’s car led to a conviction and sentence of a 20-year old Brenham man in this week’s session of the 21st district court.
Assistant District Attorney Eric Berg says Preston Scott was angry about an amplifier he bought from a man back on April 22nd last year, and asked for his money back. The seller refused and a car chase out to FM 390 ensued.
Scott was sentenced to four years deferred adjudication but still has to spend three days in the Washington County Jail. Judge Reva Towslee Corbett also ordered him to perform 160 hours of community service and pay $7700 back in restitution to the victim.
A concerned child calling 911 about her father driving drunk led to his being arrested in February of 2011 for driving while intoxicated with two child passengers.
Berg said 51-year old James Edward Sumruld of Pearland was traveling through Washington County on Highway 290. His daughter was upset because he had been drinking too much and called law enforcement officers on her cell phone.
Judge Corbett sentenced Sumruld to eight months in a state jail and ordered him to pay a $1000 fine.
Twenty-eight year old Shayne Aric Spindler of Houston will spend nine years in prison after he pled guilty to selling a form of Ecstasy in August of 2012. A DPS trooper stopped him because he was speeding in excess of 80 miles per hour. When the trooper made contact he could smell marijuana prompting a search. The search found the synthetic drug.
