A 39-year-old man has been charged with killing his
wife and 12-year-old daughter in a drunken driving crash.
Court records say Travis Ploman of Kronenwetter had been
drinking with friends for at least five hours Sunday before he got behind the
wheel of the family sports utility vehicle and headed home.
Ploman was charged Wednesday with two counts of
homicide by drunken driving, resisting arrest and causing injury while driving
drunk.
His attorney, Rand Krueger, says the charges are
premature and unsubstantiated.
Court records say Ploman, a Mosinee School Board
member, went to a home in Portage County with a cooler full of beer to share with
his wife, Jennifer. His SUV rolled
over off Interstate 39 near Mosinee, killer her and daughter Erin. A 9-year-old son was treated and
released at a hospital.
