OREGON – An Oregon man accused of causing a fatal boat crash in 2016 has pled guilty to a single felony charge.
Marc Mongan changed his not guilty plea to a guilty plea to the charge of reckless conduct, a Class 4 felony, during a final court hearing on April 19. He was to face a jury trial, which was set for Monday, April 23.

When asked by Judge John Redington if he was changing his plea to guilty, Mongan replied, “Yes, your honor.”
Mongan was charged with three counts of reckless homicide and reckless conduct along with a charge of aggravated DUI, all felony charges. He was involved in a boat crash on the Rock River in June 2016, which resulted in the death of 31-year-old Megan Wells of Rockford.
All charges except for the single felony were dropped.
Sentencing, which could include prison time or probation as well as a fine, will be in June.
