Bunch was sentenced to 10 years in prison, after pleading guilty to the attempted murder of a Warren County sheriff's deputy. He also pleaded guilty to fleeing from police, and to five counts of first-degree wanton endangerment involving five other sheriff's deputies.

Bunch admitted trying to run the deputies down as he led them on an hour-long, 110 MPH chase through Warren and Simpson Counties on June 28. The chase ended when Bunch flipped his car at a railroad crossing in Auburn.
