MARINETTE - An Oconto woman was sentenced Tuesday to a total of six years in prison for her role in two 2019 drug sales, one of which led to a fatal overdose.
Chasity Denny, 31, will then serve 10 years of extended supervision, Marinette County Circuit Court Judge James A. Morrison decided. He ordered the sentence not begin until after Denny completes the prison term she received for her role in selling drugs that led to a fatal overdose in Oconto County in 2018.
Morrison last week presided over the trial of Denny’s former boyfriend, Brian Blasing, 30, of Oconto, at which he was convicted of first-degree reckless homicide in the overdose death of Terry L. Westphal, 45, of Coleman on Feb. 17, 2019. He was also found guilty of manufacture/delivery of up to 1 gram of cocaine over the Jan. 28, 2019, drug sale to a confidential informant in the town of Peshtigo, where Blasing and Denny lived at the time.
