Marisa M. Arne, 31, was sentenced on August 13, 2026, to six years in prison for her role in a fatal drug overdose.

The sentence includes 10 years of extended supervision, served concurrently with any existing sentence. Arne received credit for 409 days already served.
The overdose victim, a 29-year-old man, died on June 11, 2024, after ingesting a combination of drugs, including fentanyl. Wausau police responded to a call at a home where the man was found unresponsive. Autopsy results confirmed the cause of death.
