ORDER GRANTING STATE’S MOTION FOR PRE-TRIAL DETENTION
THIS CAUSE having come upon the State’s motion to detain the Defendant on May 13, 2022, and the Court having conducted a hearing, taken testimony, accepting exhibits, and the Court otherwise being fully apprised in this matter, this Court hereby finds as follows:

Pursuant to Section 907.041(4)(c)4, Florida Statutes, this Court finds there-is a substantial probability, based on the Defendant’s past and present patterns of behavior and other relevant facts, that the Defendant poses a threat of harm to the community.

1. The Defendant is charged with DUI Causing Death of a Human/Unborn Child (DUI Manslaughter), a “dangerous crime” under Florida Statute 907.041(4)(a)(10). Accordingly, this Court finds the Defendant is charged with a dangerous crime.

2. The Court finds from the testimony presented and the documents entered into evidence that there is a substantial probability that the Defendant committed the crime of DUI Manslaughter.

a. The Court heard the testimony of two (2) officers from the arresting agency.

b. Defendant was the sole occupant of her vehicle and found in the driver’s seat, despite evidence that her driver’s license is currently suspended.

c. Defendant’s vehicle rear-ended a stopped vehicle (a Kia) so hard that the Kia ran into yet another vehicle.

d. The accident resulted in the death of an occupant in the Kia.

e. Defendant had an unsealed bottle of vodka in the passenger floorboard.

f. Defendant made admissions that she had been drinking vodka earlier in the evening.

g. Defendant’s blood alcohol was well over the legal limit (at least .28, ranging up to .32 – .36).

h. Defendant’s blood also had levels of THC.

i. The crash caused by the Defendant’s driving resulted in the death of an occupant in the Kia vehicle.

3. The Court finds that the Defendant is a threat to the community and disregarded the safety of the community. The Court took into consideration the factors in 907.041(4)(a)(c)(4)(a)-(c).

The Court finds that the Defendant meets the standards under numerous factors of being a threat to the community.

a. The Court reviewed the Defendant’s driving record that was entered into evidence. The Defendant has previous convictions for three (3) separate Driving Under the Influence charges, as well as for Driving While License Suspended, Canceled or Revoked.

b. The Defendant further has charges pending from January of 2022 out of New Jersey, as well as a pending Driving Under the Influence out of New Jersey from February of 2022.

c. Though this offense occurred on March 25, 2022, the Defendant was taken into custody on a Marchman Act in May of 2022, after being found in front of “Robbie O’Connell’s” unresponsive.

d. On the date of the incident, the Defendant had no Florida driver’s license, and her license from another state was suspended due to previous Driving Under the Influence charges.

4. This Court finds there are no less restrictive conditions of release that can reasonably protect the community. The Court finds that the Defendant has disregarded the law several times previously, and that the Defendant has no intention of abiding by the law or bond conditions based on her past and present conduct.

5. The Court finds it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that there is a need for pretrial detention.

Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED the State’s Motion for Pretrial Detention is GRANTED and the Defendant is to be held without bond.

DONE AND ORDERED this / day of May 2022, at DAYTONA BEACH IN VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA.

UPDATE: PWInsider reports that Florida State Attorney RJ Larizza from Florida’s 7th Circuit has issued a statement after Tammy Sytch’s bond was revoked today.

“A deadly driver will reside behind bars until her case is resolved. A serious threat to the driving public has been removed.”

Original: PWInsider reports that the bail for Tammy Sytch was officially revoked after a 10:30 AM hearing, and she will be remanded to jail during her DUI manslaughter trial. The decision was made by the Circuit Court of Volusia County, Florida after a motion was filed by the state. She had previously posted bond and was released after her arrest last weekend.

The four-page motion, filed on Monday by State Attorney RJ Larizza, ordered that Sytch be held in pretrial detention, keeping her until and during a possible trial. She was arrested on May 6 for multiple charges, including the manslaughter, after a fatal car crash that killed 75-year-old Julian Lasseter. The State claimed that Sytch violated her probation from three previous DUI arrests in Pennsylvania multiple times, leading to that probation getting revoked and Sytch going to Carbon County Prison. Sytch also has a suspended driver’s license in Pennsylvania and doesn’t have a valid driver’s license in the State of Florida.

It reads: “The State submits that there is a substantial probability that the Defendant committed DUI Manslaughter when she killed the victim on Match 25, 2022. The State also submits that Defendant poses a threat of harm to the community based on criminal history surrounding driving offenses as detailed above.”

The judge ruled that the bail was revoked. Sytch was handcuffed and taken from the court by authorities after being sent back to jail.

In addition to DUI manslaughter, she is also facing one count of causing death while operating a vehicle with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, four counts of DUI causing injury to a person, and three counts of DUI causing damage to property. She will be arraigned on May 31 at 2:30 PM.
