SHAWANO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – A 20-year-old Clintonville man has pleaded no contest to being under the influence of a controlled substance when he killed three passengers in a vehicle accident.
Ryan Swadner was reportedly on his way to a drug deal when he caused the Shawano County crash in October 2014.
Swadner pleaded no contest to three felony counts of Homicide While Driving Under the Influence of a Controlled Substance and one misdemeanor count of Causing Injury While Driving Under the Influence of a Controlled Substance.
Seven other counts were dismissed.
He will be sentenced January 10.
The parents of two of the teens who were killed in the crash filed a wrongful death suit against Swadner earlier this year.
