A Waupun man has pleaded no contest to a charge of supplying the drugs that led to the overdose death of a Juneau woman in 2009. Thirty-three year old Christopher Skalitzky entered the plea to a charge of delivering schedule 2 narcotics in Dodge County Circuit Court. He also pleaded no contest to charges of bail jumping, criminal damage to property, and disorderly conduct in a separate case. A pre-sentence investigation was ordered. Skalitzky was accused of providing 25 year old Shallen Manske with methadone, oxycodone, and Valium. In December 2009, emergency personnel were dispatched to a Juneau residence for a possible overdose. The victim, identified as Manske, was taken to Beaver Dam Community Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Skalitzky allegedly admitted to authorities that he supplied the drugs. An autopsy indicated that Manske either died from the drugs or a pre-existing seizure disorder. A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for July 29th.
