COLOMA, Mich. (WNDU) - A home health nurse is facing murder and drug charges after police claim she’s responsible for the death of a 3-year-old in Coloma Township.
Coloma police responded to 6209 Brecht Road around 2:30 AM on Monday.
That’s where they found the parents of an unresponsive 3-year-old performing life-saving measures on their child who was missing their breathing tube & already dealing with several medical conditions.
Police also found the woman hired to monitor the child that night in no state to help out.
“Through an investigation, the officers found out that was the registered nurse that was supposed to care for the child throughout the night. After the investigation was completed, we determined that she was high on methamphetamines & should not have been in care of that child,” said Police Chief Wes Smigielski.
That nurse is 42-year-old Judith Sobol who now faces a charge of second-degree murder & possession of meth.
She not only had meth on her person when police arrived at the scene, but she also admitted to using it.
According to the probable cause document, Sobol told police she shot up meth the same day she was scheduled to care for the victim. She also admitted to shooting up meth four days straight that same week before heading to work.
The report says she admitted she was “not in the right state of mind to be at work & should have never come to work at all.”
Police found a small container in Sobol’s purse with meth & 2 pipes inside.
Sobol is being held on a $500,000 bond at the Berrien County Jail.
Her next hearing is set for June 29th.
