Ill. revokes man's parole after Fla. racing deaths

An Illinois man who pleaded guilty in Florida to running over and killing two British businessmen during a drag race will serve prison time here, but not for the car crash.

Ryan LeVin was on parole for an incident in Illinois when he traveled to Florida to answer the charges there. Illinois officials say he violated the terms of his parole by not getting permission to leave the state.

The Illinois Prisoner Review Board revoked his parole Wednesday. The Chicago Tribune reports that the length of his sentence is still being calculated.

LeVin pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a fatal crash in Florida. A judge sentenced him to two years of house arrest after he agreed to pay a confidential settlement to the victims' families.
