Former Tennessee state representative Jeremy Durham has been sentenced after being found guilty on multiple charges according to NewsChannel 5. He received a one-year jail sentence with all but seven days suspended, one year of probation, a $350 fine and a one-year suspension of his driver’s license. Durham was convicted in May on five of six charges, including two counts of driving under the influence, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia. The charges stemmed from a crash in downtown Nashville in which Durham sideswiped another vehicle. The victim testified he experienced whiplash from the incident and missed two weeks of work as a result. It was Durham’s second DUI offense in less than two years. He was expelled from the legislature in 2016 following an investigation that found he had sent inappropriate text messages to several women.
