The death of an infant in Marathon County leads to the arrest of a 27-year-old man who is accused of 1st-Degree Reckless Homicide.

The Marathon County Sheriff’s Office got a report of an unresponsive three-month-old child at 10:44 a.m. the morning of November 20th in the Town of Norrie.

The child was taken to a local hospital, but was pronounced dead a couple of days later.

A criminal investigation was launched.

On November 27th, a probable cause hearing was held and the court set a $100-thousand-dollar cash bond for the suspect.

He will be back in court in February.

The name of the child is being withheld.
