GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) - A Delaware teacher with a history of alcohol-related arrests has been sentenced to 2½ years in prison for drunken driving and other crimes following an incident in which eight other vehicles were damaged.
Forty-five-year-old Martin Tuohy of Middletown was sentenced Friday morning.
Tuohy pleaded no contest last month to third-offense drunken driving, three counts of vehicular assault and reckless endangering.

Tuohy was charged by Rehoboth Beach police after a two-week investigation into the July 7 incident. At the time, he was facing trial in a separate case after being arrested for public intoxication.
Tuohy worked for several years at Christiana High School. He pleaded guilty to DUI in 2008 and entered a first-offenders program. He was convicted of reckless driving in another DUI case in 2017.
___
This story has been corrected to show that Tuohy pleaded no contest, instead of guilty. Also, he pleaded to third-offense drunken driving, not fourth-offense drunken driving, and three counts of vehicular assault, not two.
