HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan woman whose three young sons drowned last year after her SUV crashed into an ice-covered pond has pleaded no contest to several charges in connection with the crash. A judge on Monday accepted Leticia Gonzales’ no contest plea to operating while intoxicated causing serious injury and three misdemeanor charges of moving violation causing death. She awaits sentencing next month. Police say Gonzales was driving when her SUV jumped a curb in February 2022 and rolled into an ice-covered retention pond. Her sons — ages 4, 3 and 1 — all drowned. Gonzales escaped with minor injuries. Police allege she was impaired by two doses of methadone.
