According to police, Kasey Dischman, 30, was found unresponsive in her East Butler apartment on 10th Street in the early morning hours of June 23. "I saw an ambulance by the alley and I think there was three or four cop cars and a fire truck too." I actually struggle with that, but I'm doing better now," Soose said. Channel 11 reached out to the Butler County prison warden, who said she was in drug and alcohol programs, as well as a re-entry program. BUTLER (KDKA) – A Butler County woman who was seven months pregnant is facing charges after she allegedly overdosed on heroin, forcing doctors to deliver her baby prematurely. “It's so severe it doesn't stop a mother 30-plus weeks pregnant from overdosing.” 
 
 Police and emergency crews found Dischman unresponsive at her home on Tenth Street in East Butler after her live-in boyfriend called authorities for help about 12:25 a.m. Friday. But charges could be added or amended, investigators said, depending on the fate of the baby — who was delivered by emergency cesarean section Saturday. For now, 30-year-old Kasey R. Dischman is facing felony charges of aggravated assault of an unborn child and child endangerment and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment. She was resuscitated once and she’s on a life support system now,” said Lt. Eric Hermick, of Pennsylvania State Police. “Should the baby not survive, and we’ve talked to the [District Attorney], he’s leaning towards filing the criminal homicide charge,” Lt. Hermick said. “If they had known right away, they could have administered Narcan and maybe prevented the remnants of this,” said Lt. Hermick. Dischman’s boyfriend, 36-year-old Andrew Lucas, who is the father of the child, will also be charged. Lucas said that Dischman was having seizures, so no one administered Narcan. "They did not administer Narcan believing this was an underlying medical condition," Hermick said.
– In a case that police say lays bare the disturbing extent of the opioid crisis, a woman in Pennsylvania faces charges of assaulting her baby by overdosing on heroin while seven months pregnant. The baby was delivered by emergency C-section Saturday after 30-year-old Kasey Dischman was found unresponsive in the bathroom of her East Butler home, CBS Pittsburgh reports. She had gotten out of jail for retail theft just five days earlier, authorities say. Police, who found a needle hidden in the bathroom after obtaining a warrant and searching the apartment, say Dischman will face charges including aggravated assault of an unborn child after she is released from the hospital. The baby girl has been declared brain dead and police say the charges could include homicide if she is taken off life support. "The baby's in bad shape," police Lt. Eric Hermick tells the Butler Eagle. The opioid epidemic, he says, is "so severe it doesn't stop a mother 30-plus weeks pregnant from overdosing." WPXI reports that Dischman's boyfriend, Andrew Lucas, will be charged with interfering with the investigation because he claimed she had a seizure disorder and didn't do drugs. Hermick says things could have turned out differently if doctors had known the truth and administered the anti-overdose drug Narcan right away. Police say the couple's 6-year-old daughter was also home when Dischman overdosed.
