An East Butler man, charged with drug distribution and endangering his 8-year-old child after his girlfriend allegedly overdosed while seven months pregnant with their second child, will be returned to state prison on a parole detainer after nominal bond was granted in two Butler County cases.

Andrew W. Lucas, 37, was being held in the Butler County Prison on $10,000 bail on charges of misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child, corruption of minors and possession of drug paraphernalia after an incident on June 22; and $100,000 bail on charges of two felony counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and one misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance after an incident on May 19.

In county court on Tuesday, Lucas was released on pretrial supervision by Judge William Shaffer. However, Lucas was also being held on a state parole detainer, and will be returned to state prison to face the parole violation allegations.

Lucas was charged in the endangering case after his girlfriend — Kasey R. Dischman, 30, of Butler — allegedly overdosed on heroin while seven months pregnant with her second child on June 22 at the couple’s home on Tenth Street in East Butler. Lucas’ charges stem from the couple’s 8-year-old daughter allegedly being present in the house at the time of the alleged overdose.

That overdose prompted an emergency response with Dischman giving birth via cesarean section and the baby, a girl, suffering “lasting injuries,” according to court records.

Dischman was charged in that case and is currently held in the Butler County Prison.

Lucas was arrested June 23 on a parole violation after failing a drug test. He was placed in the State Correctional Institution in Mercer and later moved to a halfway house in Erie.

The Butler County Drug Task Force then later charged him in the drug distribution case after allegations that he sold 10 stamp bags of heroin to an informant for $70 on Oak Alley in Butler in May.
