MONROE - Trevor J. McGuire, 21, Monroe, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday, Jan. 3, in Green County Circuit Court and was bound over for trial.

McGuire is charged with reckless homicide in a crash that killed a 10-year-old Stoughton boy on Oct. 7.

The court set an arraignment date of Feb. 21.

The prosecution and defense in the case are still awaiting accident reconstruction reports.

Judge Thomas Vale accepted McGuire's waiver, noting that it indicates the felonies against McGuire were probably committed. A preliminary hearing with witnesses and evidence would have sought the same probability.

McGuire is charged with a Class B felony count of first-degree reckless homicide, Class D felony counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and first-degree reckless injury and Class F felony counts of injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle and first-degree recklessly endangering safety. If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 135 years in prison.

A $10,000 cash bond was posted for McGuire in mid-October, and a $90,000 signature bond signed.

Bond conditions stipulate that McGuire must reside with his mother in Monroe and abide by a curfew or take part in residential substance abuse treatment at the Manitoba House in Milwaukee.

On Nov. 6, the court recorded a letter from Christopher T. Van Wagner, McGuire's attorney, indicating the defendant was attending treatment.

McGuire lost control of his pickup truck on Oct. 7 on Wis. 59 near Albany and crashed into a minivan killing Michael T. Iverson and seriously injuring the boy's father, Matthew I. Iverson, 35. Two siblings, ages 7 and 13, survived with minor injuries.

The family was headed home from a volleyball game in Monroe.

McGuire sustained non-life threatening injuries, and his passenger, Michael G.V. , 24, Monroe, had minor injuries but declined treatment.

The criminal complaint alleges McGuire and Ladwig had been drinking. A deputy found an open bottle of tequila in the pickup and reported that McGuire smelled of alcohol and had "red and glossy" eyes.
