'Days of our Lives' Actor Freddie Smith Sentenced in Vehicular Assault Case

Freddie Smith was sentenced in an Ohio courtroom on Wednesday.

Actor Freddie Smith, who plays Sonny Kiriakis on Days of our Lives), was sentenced Wednesday to two years of community control in Ashtabula County Common Pleas court. He also had his driver's license suspended for one year.

Smith was leaving a wedding reception in October 2014 when he and his girlfriend Alyssa Tabit crashed in Ohio. Police say Smith's blood alcohol level was .093. Tabit was seriously injured and continues to recover.

"She is doing absolutely fantastic. She has a couple more weeks of physical therapy and she will be back good as new," Smith told Action News reporter Scott Taylor outside the courtroom (see video below). "It was very selfish and I am very sorry for doing it."

Nearly three weeks after surviving a car crash in Ohio, Days of our Lives star Feddie Smith is on the mend. He and longtime girlfriend Alyssa Tabit were involved in a violent one-car accident in Kingsville Township, Ohio, earlier this month that left her in critical condition after undergoing emergency surgery. After a few weeks of silence, Smith finally reached out via his Facebook page over the weekend to share his gratitude.

"Feeling so lucky and blessed today to be lounging with Alyssa Tabit taking in the autumn day in Ohio," Smith wrote. "I can't thank you all enough for your on going support, thoughts, and prayers!!!! I really do have the best friends and family in the world!!!"

Tabit also posted publicly for the firsts time since the accident, an Instagram photo of flowers she received in the hospital with the caption: "I have been so blessed to receive some really astounding arrangements the past few weeks... But a Benji looking arrangement + my favorite holiday decorations!? #Sold 🎃🐶🌻 Thank you Vicky!"
