Instead of immediately driving her boyfriend to the hospital after he apparently overdosed, a Butler woman is accused of stopping to get fast food for her child.

Tonya M. Kildoo, 39, also reportedly gave the victim a prescription medication used to treat opioid addiction, rather than the lifesaving antidote Narcan, authorities said.

But after Kildoo finally made it to Butler Memorial Hospital on July 3 with Christopher Otto, it was too late. The 32-year-old man was pronounced dead there.

Butler police Monday charged Kildoo with reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor, in connection with the death.

She is accused of failing to call 911 or promptly getting her boyfriend emergency medical treatment.

Investigators said they believe Otto overdosed July 3 at the home he shared with Kildoo on the 400 block of Brown Avenue.

Police, however, did not learn of the circumstances of Otto's death until Butler County Deputy Coroner Larry Barr informed them. The hospital first notified the coroner's office.

According to court documents, Kildoo recounted that after her boyfriend overdosed, she gave him Suboxone, a synthetic opiate that is prescribed to treat narcotic addiction. It primarily works by preventing withdrawal symptoms.

She also later told a hospital nurse that she splashed water on his face but he remained unresponsive.

The defendant said she took Otto in her car, documents said, and drove him to a neighbor's house and administered Narcan, a drug that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. That, too, she said, did not revive him.

At some point, while traveling in the car with her boyfriend and their child, police said, the youngster got hungry so Kildoo stopped at a local McDonald's restaurant.

The defendant told the nurse that Otto's “heart was still beating” at the time, according to a police affidavit, and “she did not think the situation was as serious as it was.”

An autopsy on Otto was performed later that night, but police still are awaiting results of toxicology tests, Deputy Chief David Adam said Wednesday.

He said police charged the defendant after consulting with the district attorney's office.

A preliminary hearing for Kildoo, who could not be reached for comment, is set for Sept. 25.
