KENAI, Alaska – An Alaska fishing captain who led a crew on the program that spawned the cable TV show "Deadliest Catch" has pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide and driving under the influence in a fatal crash.
Clarence "Ole" Helgevold Jr., of Soldotna, pleaded guilty Friday in Kenai Superior Court under an agreement that stipulates he will serve five years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 25.
Helgevold, 60, originally had been charged with manslaughter in January when his car crashed with a snowmobile driven by George Larion. Larion, 47, was thrown from the snowmobile and died at the scene.
