KNOX COUNTY MAN SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON….FOR 15th DUI CONVICTION
A Knox County man appeared several times too many for a crime and was sentenced by a judge today (Thursday, May 25, 2017). Court officials say 64-year-old Larry Ray Perryman of Knoxville was given 10 years in prison for his 15th DUI conviction. He had 14 prior DUI convictions that stretched back to 1984 in Indiana before he moved to Tennessee where he received DUI convictions in Cocke, Sevier, Anderson and Knox counties. Perryman has been declared a habitual motor vehicle offender, which makes it a felony for him to operate a vehicle.
