A 40-year-old Janesville man who was arrested twice for drunken driving with his child in the car, and abandoned the child when he fled from one of the stops, takes a plea deal in Rock County Court.

In a case from 2020, Ricardo Moreno plead guilty to six offense operating while intoxicated and additional charges of operating with a prohibited alcohol content and obstructing an officer were dismissed but read into the record.

In a case from July of this year where Moreno is accused of abandoning the six-year-old, he plead guilty to seventh offense operating while intoxicated and additional charges of operating with a prohibited alcohol content, neglecting a child, obstructing an officer, and bail jumping were dismissed but read into the record.

Judge Barbara McCrory sentenced Moreno to a total of eight years in prison and eight years of extended supervision.
