A Manitowoc man who was convicted of selling another man the drugs that killed him has been sentenced.
21-year-old Michael A. Svacina pleaded guilty to charges of Reckless Homicide by the Delivery of Drugs and Bail Jumping, and Judge Jerilyn Dietz sentenced him to spend a total of 9 years in prison followed by 8 years on extended supervision.
Svacina was arrested back in January after the death of a 20-year-old man on November 23rd, 2021.
Facebook messages were uncovered where the two men discussed a drug sale, specifically heroin and fentanyl.
Svacina was also ordered to undergo counseling, maintain absolute sobriety, and submit to random drug tests.
He has been given credit for 224 days served in jail.
