FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – OIivia Nordvold was convicted of two misdemeanor drug counts Friday and was fined $100. The charges were filed after an overdose at her Ripon residence where the victim was dragged to the sidewalk and left for dead.
Nordvold, 19, was convicted of possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of THC for the April 11, 2023, incident. A count of maintaining a drug trafficking place was dismissed.
She was not charged in direct connection to the overdose death. Four people were charged for their roles in the death:
- Donavyn Mueller was sentenced to 10 years in prison
- Maison Springston was sentenced to seven years in prison
- Joseph Schmidt-Rehbein was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison
- Michael Manske was sentenced to one year in prison
According to the criminal complaint, witness information led police to search the Scott Street residence where Manske and Nordvold lived.
Officials say the 18-year-old victim and other teens went to a home on Scott Street in Ripon and used narcotics. While there, the victim began to experience overdose symptoms and became unresponsive. The people in the home took him outside, placed him on the sidewalk and ran away.
“During the warrant, SRO Michels spoke with Olivia. Olivia stated that victim 1, Maison, and Joey came to her house. While at the house, Joey removed pill from his wallet, which Olivia believed to be Percocet, gave them to victim 1, and he, Maison, and Victim 1 snorted the drug through a rolled-up dollar bill. Olivia told Michels after Victim 1 did this, he started nodding off, and then his lips started turning blue and he started going unconscious. Olivia reported that they had a pulse oximeter, that they put on Victim 1’s finger and observed his pulse went from 115 to 41,” the complaint states. “During the warrant, Officer Watry spoke with Michael Manske, and he said that once Victim 1 started overdosing he told Maison and Joey to get him out of his house. Olivia said that Joey put Victim 1 over his shoulder and walked out the West door of the residence,” the complaint states.
The medical examiner listed bromazolam and fentanyl toxicity as the cause of death, according to the complaint.
