Man gets 2 years for fleeing

CROSSVILLE — A Crab Orchard man who fled from Cumberland County sheriff’s deputies who had responded to a loud music complaint has received a two-year prison sentence.

Daniel Paul Sherrill, 33, 724 Popular Dr., Crab Orchard, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence (down from sixth offense drunk driving) and reckless endangerment, and received a two-year sentence.

Sherrill also pleaded guilty to a felony evading arrest with injury and sixth offense driving on a suspended license, and received another two-year sentence, with the sentences to be served at the same time.

On Nov. 30, Deputy Gary Green responded to Hall Rd. on a loud music complaint and observed a vehicle parked in a driveway. As Green’s patrol car approached, the driver of the white vehicle sped away with the driver refusing to stop.

The resulting pursuit traveled onto McCampbell Rd. and Sunset Ridge. At some point, stop sticks were activated, puncturing all four tires on Sherrill’s vehicle, but he continued to attempt to elude officers, traveling to Tabor Rd. and eventually onto Hwy. 127.

Upon reaching the city limits, Sherrill was accused of crossing into the oncoming lane of traffic and continuing his flight, turning onto several city streets. The chase ended when Sherrill stopped at a residence on Parks St. and attempted to flee on foot.
