Tyler Man’s Conviction Affirmed

TYLER – A Tyler man convicted of aggravated assault on a public servant, had his appeal rejected. The 12th court of appeals in Tyler has upheld the conviction of Gregory Dewayne Tennyson, 43. He was arrested in October, 2015, after leading lawmen on a chase in Smith and Wood counties at speeds topping 100 miles an hour. A Tyler police officer attempted to stop his car on the northwest loop, but he didn’t stop until a state trooper shot out one of his tires. Tennyson rammed four law enforcement vehicles before he was arrested in Mineola. Eight months later a Smith County jury sentenced him to life in prison
