White Sentenced for Mower Incident

The Viola man considered a person of interest in the murder of his estranged wife Melissa White will spend four years in prison.  William Pete White was sentenced Tuesday for driving a riding mower through town while on a revoked license. 

While the sentence seems harsh for driving a lawn mower, the judge says he considered White's 57 prior convictions on criminal felony and misdemeanor charges starting at the age of 15.
