A man with a history of drunken driving convictions pleaded guilty Monday to a hit-and-run crash that killed a Brown Deer couple in Mequon last year.
Daniel J. Fagan, 36, was charged in January 2011 with two counts of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle and two counts of hit-and-run resulting in death for a crash that killed Emiliya Krol, 69, and her husband, Leonid Krol, 72 as they walked in the 4700 block of W. County Line Road.
At a hearing in Ozaukee County Circuit Court, prosecutors agreed to dismiss the negligent operation counts in exchange for the guilty pleas to the hit-and-run counts.
Over his attorney's objections, Fagan, who had been free on $50,000 bail, was taken into custody Monday pending his sentencing next month. Prosecutors plan to recommend he be sent to prison for 12 years, followed by 13 years of extended supervision.
