EAST BROOKFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Barre woman who gave her 69-year-old mother heroin instead of her prescribed pain medication has been sentenced to six months in jail.
Lisa Gazaille pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges including assault and battery on a disabled or elderly person causing injury and distribution of heroin as part of deal with prosecutors. She was sentenced to 18 months in jail with six months to serve and the balance suspended for two years.
Police responded to her mother’s home in July after the 69-year-old woman called to say she might have been given the wrong medication.
The 47-year-old Gazaille allegedly told police she gave her mother heroin orally, telling the older woman it was crushed oxycodone that had been prescribed for severe stomach pains.
wow.
Did she just happen to have heroin???
not too bright
What
holy what
Halarious
NICE! Couldnt tell the diffrence?
Holy hell. I hope they throw her in general pop.
oh man… i hate dope-heads… scum of the earth….
Does anyone else have the question in their mind that I do right now? “Why did she give her heroin?” If it was intensional then shouldn’t a charge of attempted murder be added on? She admitted to doing it but if the woman had pain meds already or heart meds whatever….why did this person intentionally give the heroin? A doper usually does not just give their STUFF away…..
It is cheaper than pain meds. Maybe just maybe they would have prevented **** like that by making meds affordable. Oh by the way most pain meds are opiates
Neglect
