February 28, 2009
A Staunton man was found guilty by an Augusta County Circuit Court jury Friday of involuntary manslaughter in the May 2008 accident on Route 340 that killed 40-year-old Cheryl Lynn Sheaves of Grottoes. The 11-woman, one-man jury recommended a four-month sentence for Jeremy Rasnake, 21. He will be formally sentenced on March 26. The jury could have recommended a sentence of up to 10 years in prison and a $2,500 fine. Sheaves died the next day at the University of Virginia Medical Center as a result of her injuries.
Rasnake was driving a blue 1988 Ford Bronco north on Route 340 between Old White Hill Road and Kill Deer Lane on May 23 when, according to testimony, he fell asleep at the wheel, drifting across the center line before colliding head-on with a silver 1994 Ford Thunderbird driven by Sheaves.
