PRESTONSBURG - Three county men involved in separate incidents of fleeing police were sentenced Friday in circuit court.
Donnie Robinette, Daniel R. Harvill and Gary Layne Hale were sentenced to a total of nine years on Friday, with Hale getting the most time.
Hale was sentenced first and received four years and an admonishment from Judge John D. Caudill, who also implored him to stop drinking and driving.
"This is not my first visit from Mr. Hale," Caudill noted. "We have got to do something before you go out and kill someone."
Caudill told Hale, "When you get out, don't drive."
Hale's Dec. 3 chase ended in the Arkansas Creek area when he stopped his vehicle and took off on foot. He left a juvenile in the car who began to run as well but stopped when the officer called out. He remained at large until New Year's Eve, when officers went to where he was staying to serve his arrest warrant. Hale jumped out of a back window and was taken down in a foot chase with officers.
Harvill, 20, of Hueysville, was arrested in Garrett in February after speeding through a traffic check point where he almost clipped a trooper who was talking to the driver of a stopped vehicle. His chase stopped when Harvill decided to pull over after several miles when he couldn't lose the officer chasing him.
Caudill told Harvill that he would have to serve six months before starting probation and applauded him for recently taking his GED test while in jail. Caudill told Harvill that statistics show that people who complete the program tend not to come back to court and wished him luck.
Robinette was sentenced last and received two years, which will be probated for three years.
Robinette, 29, of Betsy Layne, was arrested in Tram last December after fleeing state trooper Austin Hicks, who had activated his flashers and pulled in behind him on U.S. 23, in Ivel, after noticing that Robinette's car was moving erratically.
The chase reached speeds of up to 81 miles per hour and ended in Tram when Robinette's vehicle got caught up on railroad tracks. The chase then became a foot pursuit, as Robinette ran off and was taken down by Hicks about 30 yards from the scene.
