On Memorial Day 2009, 34-year-old Michael Tangora’s life was cut short when an intoxicated Glenn Krugle III, was driving his truck on U.S. 30 near the West Virginia / Pennsylvania state border at an estimated speed of about 93 mph. Krugle crossed the centerline and struck Michael Tangora’s oncoming vehicle. Michael and his girlfriend, Anita, who was seriously injured, were innocent victims of this man’s total disregard for life and the law.
Michael was a happy, loving person that impacted so many peoples lives so greatly. He would light up the room when he walked in with his huge, warm smile. Michael enjoyed fishing, spending time with his family and children.
On March 2010, Krugle pleaded guilty before Judge Martin Gaughan in Hancock County to one count of DUI causing death and one count of misdemeanor DUI causing bodily injury. Judge Gaughan sentenced him two to ten years in prison, in which Krugle will be eligible for parole in less than two years. Krugle’s plea agreement credited him for approximately 120 days of house arrest.
HOWEVER, KRUGLE PROBABLY WILL NOT BE INCARCERATED FOR 10 YEARS, HE IS A REPEAT DUI OFFENDER, WITH A RECORD. THE WEST VIRGINIA BOARD OF PAROLE & PARDONS, AT ANYTIME, CAN GRANT KRUGLE CLEMENCY, AND RELEASE HIM.
We are extremely concerned because Krugle has currently served about eighteen months since his sentencing. We are fearful that once paroled. Krugle will slip through cracks knowing that he is a Pennsylvania resident.
Krugle is currently scheduled for a parole hearing this September.
The family of Michael Tangora is requesting your support in the signing this petition.
We, the undersigned, oppose early release/parole for Glenn R. Krugle, III, a convicted felon and repeat DUI offender. Anything less than completion of the original maximum sentence (10 years) is unacceptable. Krugle should serve the entire prison term handed down by Judge Martin Gaughan, not an arbitrary, subjective term decided by the West Virginia Board of Paroles & Pardons. By keeping Krugle in prison, the state of West Virginia will protect society from a repeat DUI offender/killer, and send a strong message that drunk driving will not be tolerated.

Contact me for further information on this pos who escaped any real penalty for his continued arrests for drunk driving, This isn’t the first tome this pos was arrested for these same crimes! He’s not living a better life now either to make up for his murder it’s past either. Instead he is attacking, bullying and the memories of another murdered child just for fun and giggles on a Facebook site he administers. Just as evil as he’s always been,
This POS should have done life or given his life for taking the life of an innocent man and destroying his fiancé, and all their family members all because he is a degenerate DRUNK! Shame on him! He’s actually legally driving trucks in Phoenix Arizona now! They should know that they have a murderer working for them,
Keep this monster behind bars where he belongs. He stole a good man from his family and he should rot for it. No parole for a killer like this ever.
He was driving 93mph?? Thats not an accident thats straight up reckless murder. Dont let him out he will just do it again to someone else.
My heart breaks for the Tangora family. Its honestly sickening that this guy is even eligible to be out after what he did on Memorial Day. Justice for Michael!!

This guy got off with commuting murder in my opinion. He’s still a menace to society. He lives in my city in Maricopa, Arizona and is still driving, a bully and abuse to others. I have a zillion posts and public comments that I can share regarding his and his friends comments about this tragedy as if it didn’t matter because it happened a few years ago! No remorse or care for taking a life and traugiy
