A drunken driver who led Phoenixville police on a crash-filled car chase will spend the next several months behind bars at Chester County Prison.

William Shawell Jr., 29, of Pottstown pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges of fleeing or attempting to elude police and driving under the influence for a June incident in which he crashed into at least 10 parked cars and a police patrol cruiser after an officer tried to pull him over.

As part of a plea agreement worked out between Shawell’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Lauren Holt, and Assistant District Attorney Max O’Keefe, Shawell was sentenced to 11 1/2 to 23 months in prison for the fleeing charges and a concurrent 72 hours for DUI. He was taken from the courtroom to begin serving his sentence.
