WACO, Texas (KWTX) - The owner of the historic Mynar’s Bar in West, Texas, was sentenced to six years in prison Thursday after he pleaded guilty to his fifth drunken driving conviction.

Judge Thomas West of 19 th State District Court revoked Richard Mynar’s felony DWI probation and sentenced him to six years in prison, while sentencing him to five years in prison on Mynar’s fifth DWI conviction.

Prosecutors refused prosecution of a pending, third-degree felony collision involving injury charge as part of Mynar’s plea agreement.

Mynar, 63, will serve the two terms concurrently and must be given credit for serving at least a quarter of his six-year term before he can seek parole. A court official estimated Mynar likely will be released after serving around eight months in prison.
