Sou Thao
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — A Wausau man found guilty of providing a near-fatal dose of heroin was sentenced to five years in the state prison system last week.
Sou Thao appeared in a Marathon County courtroom on Friday, where Judge Scott Corbett announced the sentence. It includes two years in prison and three years on extended supervision. Terms of the sentence also include absolute sobriety from drugs and alcohol and restitution.
The punishment covers eight open cases that had been rolled into one.
Charges stem from a report of an overdose in January 2022. That’s when a Wausau man was hospitalized after overdosing on heroin. Investigators say the man’s girlfriend gave him three doses of Narcan before first responders arrived.
The man told police he bought the drugs from a Mosinee woman, who said she was the middle-man in the transaction. That woman, identified as Ivy Zastrow-Hanson, is currently serving three years in state prison for two charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and delivering/manufacturing heroin.
The 30-year-old pled guilty to charges of recklessly endangering safety, retail theft, disorderly conduct, and intimidating a victim. Dozens of other charges were dismissed but read into the record, meaning they could be considered by Corbett at today’s sentencing hearing.
