Austin, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Twin Cities area man who ran over and killed an Austin man while driving across a farm pasture a year ago went before a judge in Mower County today and entered a guilty plea to a criminal vehicular homicide charge.
27-year-old Nathan Brooks and the victim, 30-year-old Alex Tapp, were both attending a party at a rural property west of Austin last April 16th when the deadly incident occurred. Brooks left the scene, but later surrendered to authorities. He is scheduled to be sentenced July 12th.
