The latest Marathon County Felony Gallery, published on May 22, 2025, by Wausau Pilot & Review, reveals the names, faces, and charges of individuals recently arrested or formally charged with felonies in Marathon County. This public update provides a window into the region’s criminal justice activity, reflecting arrests and initial court proceedings from the past week.
The gallery includes mugshots of suspects alongside the specific charges filed against them. These include a wide range of alleged offenses such as drug possession, theft, domestic violence, bail jumping, and repeat drunk driving, among others.
Transparency and Accountability
The publication of this felony gallery serves a dual purpose — promoting public awareness and fostering accountability. Law enforcement agencies emphasize that those featured are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. However, sharing these records ensures transparency in the criminal justice system and allows the community to stay informed.
This gallery is compiled from records made publicly available by the Marathon County Circuit Court and the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office. It represents felony cases filed or updated within the last week, although some may stem from earlier arrests or investigations.
For official case lookup or verification of charges, the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access system (commonly known as CCAP) can be accessed at: wcca.wicourts.gov – the Wisconsin Court System’s official portal.
Removal and Updates
Photos of individuals whose charges have been dropped, dismissed, or downgraded to misdemeanors are eligible for removal upon request. Wausau Pilot & Review invites anyone in this situation to email documentation to their editorial staff to have the image and record removed.
This effort underscores the media outlet’s balanced approach — providing vital public information while respecting individuals’ rights if legal outcomes change.
Common Charges Featured
The May 22 edition includes arrests involving a number of recurring felony charges:
- Possession with intent to deliver narcotics or methamphetamine
- Felony bail jumping, often resulting from violating conditions of release in prior cases
- Repeat Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) offenses — especially fifth or sixth offenses, which are charged as felonies in Wisconsin
- Burglary and theft, including breaking into homes, vehicles, or businesses
- Felony domestic abuse, in cases where injuries or weapons were involved
In addition, some cases involve probation violations or individuals wanted on outstanding warrants who were apprehended during the reporting period.
Law Enforcement Reminder
Authorities remind the public that the inclusion of a suspect in the felony gallery does not imply guilt. It simply indicates that formal felony charges have been filed. Everyone listed has the right to legal representation and a fair trial.
The publication also comes with an editorial note: “The information published is not meant to shame, but to inform. Our goal is to create public awareness around crime trends in Marathon County,” stated Wausau Pilot & Review’s editorial board.
Public Resources and Reporting Crime
If you have information about criminal activity in Marathon County, you are encouraged to contact local authorities or anonymously report it via Crime Stoppers. For ongoing court monitoring or to track specific cases, use the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s VINE system, which allows victims to register for notifications about changes in an offender’s custody status.
