Drunken driver gets 2 1/2 years (Photos)
BROCKTON - A Wayland man pleaded guilty yesterday to drunken driving
and was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for his role in a highway crash that seriously injured a state trooper. Before being led away to the Plymouth County House of Correction, William Senne, 20, apologized to Trooper Ellen Engelhardt, who suffered a severe head injury in the July 2003 crash and remains in a Middleboro rehabilitation hospital. Engelhardt's fellow state troopers filled the courtroom for the sentencing hearing. Her boyfriend, Sgt. Richard Teves, shown with her above, accompanied her to the judge's bench to offer a victim impact statement. A 22-year veteran of the state police who was assigned to the South Yarmouth barracks for many years, Engelhardt was familiar to Cape Codders who drove to work along Willow Street in Yarmouth. She frequently worked the traffic assignment at the foot of Exit 7 on the Mid-Cape Highway. Fellow troopers considered her a role model for younger troopers because of her easygoing and helpful manner. Prosecutors had called for a much longer sentence for Senne, who was speeding when his Volvo slammed into the back of Engelhardt's cruiser in the breakdown lane of Route 25 in Wareham. It was the second time Engelhardt had been involved in a crash. The first time was in October 2002 when a car smashed into the back of her cruiser, pushing it into a car she had stopped for speeding. Engelhardt was hospitalized then with head, neck and thigh injuries and was out of work for seven months. Witnesses told state police that Senne was driving 90 mph when he hit Engelhardt's cruiser. The 22-year state police veteran had pulled over to examine guardrail damage. Prosecutors said that Engelhardt's cognitive abilities are unknown, but that she cannot speak. http://www.capecodonline.com/cctimes...endriver21.htm ----- - gpsman |

This snot nosed little punk gets loaded, gets behind the wheel and the person he hits in his accident is the one who suffers for it. And I don't want to hear your "send him to prison for life," bit, LBMHB, the fact that he took out a cop will make him a hero in the joint. Give him sonething that will remind him of what he did for the rest of his life in a *very* negative way. Sterilize the little *******! |

Some housewife is adjusting her makeup, kills somebody and gets let off scott free. Some oldfart rams his way through a crowd of people and kills a dozen and never charged. Frankly I think all the dui laws should be dropped, and reckless driving laws should be beefed up. I really don't care if the reason for the reckless driving was intoxication, sleepiness, stupdity, or a love of running over pedestrians. 200 car pileup? Give every ****ing participant a reckless driving ticket and any who've received two should do time. |

Sentence on the outcome, not the "reason". I |

2 1/2 years isn't enough. I hope they also made it so he'd never drive a
motor vehicle again. IMO, they are far too lenient with drunk drivers in many states. You should get an extra chance, after that, they should pull your license permanently. Why is it so hard for some people to get the message? Don't drink and drive. Would people mind if their heart surgeon showed up to work sloshed, or their dentist was hammered? |
