Plea deal reached in Davis hit-and-run fatality Shares A Davis man who caused his friend’s death in a hit-and-run collision reached a plea agreement last week, days before the case was scheduled to go to trial. Scott Bryan Ekoniak pleaded no contest to hit-and-run and drunken-driving charges in connection with the Jan. 3 Olive Drive collision that killed 66-year-old Ernest Seyfert. Ekoniak, 47, is expected to be sentenced Aug. 11 to the time he’s already served in jail while awaiting trial, as well as probation. He’ll also be on a continuous alcohol monitoring system and must refrain from alcohol throughout his probation, according to the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office.
