Man surrenders in Ill. after Fla. racing deaths

JOLIET — An Illinois man who pleaded guilty in Florida to killing two British businessmen during a 2009 drag race has turned himself in at an Illinois prison.

The Chicago Tribune reports 36-year-old Ryan LeVin surrendered Monday at Stateville Correctional Center in Joliet. LeVin will remain there until his parole board hearing this summer.

LeVin was granted probation for running over a Chicago police officer before a high-speed chase in 2006. Authorities say he violated probation when he traveled to Florida. Illinois officials say they will ask the parole board to incarcerate LeVin.

Earlier this month a Florida judge ordered LeVin to serve two years of house arrest after he agreed to settle a wrongful death lawsuit. Florida prosecutors sought a 10-year prison sentence.

LeVin's parents founded a suburban Chicago direct-sales company.
