WAUPACA COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – An 18-year-old New London man will spend ten years in prison for accidentally fatally shooting his friend last July.
Investigators say Austin Hovarter told them he didn’t know the gun was loaded when he pointed it at Jacob Peglow and pulled the trigger.
Hovarter will also spend ten years under extended supervision, must speak annually at a hunter’s safety course, and must submit a weekly $16 check to a memorial fund for Peglow.
