Louisiana man sentenced in Whitley County case
Thomas William Bunn, 26, received a nine year sentence in Kentucky for three counts tied to a October high speed chase and related crimes. He pled guilty to two counts of first degree fleeing and one count of first degree criminal mischief, with three year terms on each count. He must first serve federal prison time after an appearance May 7 in U. S. District Court before Judge Danny C. Reeves for firearm possession by a felon, which carries up to 10 years and a $250000 fine. Authorities say his multi jurisdiction spree began after escaping a Louisiana parole, with ATF affidavits noting further charges likely in other states.
