ALLEGAN, Mich. — A former nurse under investigation in the homicide of a 4-year-old with medical disabilities has admitted stealing the medicine that was meant to keep him alive, according to records obtained Thursday by Target 8.
Kristie Mollohan, 40, of Kalamazoo, also admitted to using the drug.
Records obtained from the state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs lay out the case against the former licensed practical nurse (LPN), who has not been charged in the death. The state report shows she admitted stealing liquid Valium from three children who needed it to control seizures and describes how the theft led to the death of 4-year-old Ryley Maue, who suffered from cerebral palsy, in August 2016.
The state’s investigation led the Board of Nursing Disciplinary Subcommittee to suspend Mollohan’s LPN license in January.
