Scott Farmer
WAUPACA, WI (WSAU) — The man accused of driving drunk when he crashed head-on into a vehicle carrying four siblings will have a plea hearing next month.
On Thursday a Waupaca County judge scheduled Scott Farmer for a plea hearing on August 7th. The 48-year-old faces four counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle along with OWI and operating with a revoked license.
The homicide charge alone could land him in prison for up to 160 years.
Investigators say Farmer was drunk when he drove his pickup the wrong way down a Waupaca County highway, leading to a head-on crash with a vehicle carrying four siblings. They were identified as Daniel, Fabian, Lilian, and Daniela Gonzalez. Three of them died at the scene, the fourth died at a hospital the next day.
