6th DUI nets 2 years in prison

CROSSVILLE — A man who in May racked up another driving under the influence charge after having previously been convicted in five drunk driving cases, pleaded guilty in Criminal Court and received a two-year prison sentence.

Larry Lynn Rasar, 53, charged with sixth offense driving under the influence and felony evading arrest, pleaded guilty to both counts. On the drunk driving charge, he lost his driving privileges for eight years and was fined $3,010 and court costs.

On the felony evading arrest plea, Rasar also received a two-year sentence, but a sentencing agreement will allow Rasar to serve both terms at the same time for a total of two years. He is receiving credit for time served since his May 5 arrest.

On that date, Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Al Seitner attempted to stop Rasar's vehicle on suspicion of drunk driving, but instead of pulling his vehicle off the road, Rasar accelerated and led Seitner on a short chase.

Court records show Rasar has previous drunk driving convictions in Loudon (four) and Knox (one) counties.
