A man from Ankeny accused in the accidental shooting death last year of his pregnant girlfriend, has accepted a plea deal that could result in 10-years in prison. WHO-TV reports Donault Logan is pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter and possession with intent to deliver in the death of 17-year-old Mia Holmes.

Logan was 18 years old when police say he accidentally shot Holmes in a hotel room at WoodSpring Suites in Ankeny in August 2020. According to court documents, Logan admitted he was there to sell marijuana. He initially faced additional charges including non-consensual termination of a pregnancy and sexual exploitation of a minor. Those charges have been dropped as part of the plea.

Logan is scheduled to be sentenced June 18th.
