A police officer located Wininger at

      his residence, and Wininger admitted that he had been driving the truck when

      the accident occurred, and he had left the scene “because he was afraid of going

      to jail and he knew he was suspended for life.” (Tr. p. 14).

[7]   On July 8, 2014, the State filed an Information, charging Wininger with

      operating a vehicle after forfeiture of license for life, a Level 5 felony. On April

      16, 2015, Wininger entered into a plea agreement with the State, pursuant to

      Court of Appeals of Indiana | Memorandum Decision 51A01-1509-CR-1375been suspended since 2005, was involved in an accident while he was

       driving his pickup truck. Due to his HTV status, Wininger left the scene before

       police arrived. It is undisputed that it was the motorcycle driver who caused

       the accident, but when Wininger fled the scene, he left two injured people

       behind—one of whom had suffered a compound fracture—because he did not

       want to get arrested.


[21]   As to his character, the record establishes that Wininger served in the United

       States Navy and received an honorable discharge in 1973. In
