On Tuesday, November 21st, the Michigan Board of Nursing Disciplinary Subcommittee voted to permanently revoke the registered nursing license of Judith Sobol, 43, formerly of South Haven, for having been convicted of Second-Degree Murder in the death of a patient under her care, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. On June 20, 2022, Sobol, a registered nurse, 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 taken 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.
