OCONTO (WLUK) -- A driver has been sentenced to prison for a drunken driving crash that killed a woman.
Online court records show that Travis Ragen, 33, was sentenced Friday to nine years in prison and six years on extended supervision. He was also ordered to spend nine months in the Oconto County jail, to be served after the prison sentence, on a separate bail jumping conviction.
Ragen, of Lena, pleaded no contest to homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle for the November 2019 crash which killed Melissa Cota of Oconto. According to the criminal complaint, Cota’s vehicle ended up under Ragen’s. She and a dog were killed in the crash and fire.
Ragen’s blood alcohol level was .21%, more than double the legal limit for driving.
The crash happened on State 22, west of Oconto.
