The Michigan Board of Nursing Disciplinary Subcommittee of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) has revoked the registered nursing license of Judith Maria Sobol, R.N., 42, of South Haven, MI for “violating the public health code,” Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced. On June 20, 2022, Sobol, a registered nurse, allegedly appeared for her scheduled overnight evening shift to provide care to a 3-year-old ventilator dependent female child while being under the influence of methamphetamines. During the early morning hours, the child’s parents discovered Sobol incoherent and the child unresponsive and her trachea tube disconnected. Resuscitation efforts by the parents and medical personnel were unsuccessful. Sobol later admitted to Coloma Township Police Department Officers that she had injected methamphetamines on the day she came to work. Law enforcement then located 2 methamphetamine pipes and a small container of crystal methamphetamine in her purse.
Previously, the Berrien County Prosecutor’s Office charged Sobol with:
- Second Degree Murder; a felony punishable by life; and,
- Possession of Methamphetamines/Ecstasy, a felony punishable by 10 years.
