No Charges Yet for LITH Police Sgt. Accused in Fatal DUI Crash

No formal criminal charges have been filed as of Tuesday against a Lake in the Hills police sergeant accused of driving drunk last week and striking a 29-year-old woman while she was walking in Lake Geneva, Wis.

Sgt. Mark Mogan, 49, of Hebron, is free on a $5,000 bond following the Dec. 27 collision in the area of Highway 120 south of Highway 50 in Lake Geneva at about 5:20 p.m., the Daily Herald reports. Mogan was driving a vehicle that struck Samantha Norris, 29, of Lake Geneva.

She was struck while crossing the road at Edwards Boulevard and State Highway 120 when she was hit, according to the Northwest Herald.

Norris, who worked in food service at Grand Geneva Resort and was described as an avid walker who "walked everywhere she went," died two days later at Freodert Hospital in Milwaukee, according to her obituary.

Authorities said Mogan was intoxicated at time of the crash, the Northwest Herald reports. As well as being a police sergeant for the Lake in the hills Police Department, Mogan is also a trustee on the Hebron Village Board.

Walworth County District Attorney Zeke Wiedenfeld said Tuesday morning no formal charges have yet been filed against Mogan. Wiedenfeld said he’s waiting on local police to wrap up their investigation before a criminal complaint is filed.

Mogan is scheduled for an initial court appearance on Jan. 18 in Walworth County, Wis. Wiedenfeld could not comment on what charges are being considered at this point but said authorities hope a charging decision would be made by the time of Mogan's initial court appearance.

A visitation for Norris, who was born in Park Ridge, will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday at Derrick Funeral Home and Cremation Services in Lake Geneva. Services will be held on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. in the chapel of Derrick Funeral Home and Cremation Services.

Burial will follow in Ascension Cemetery in Libertyville.
