Woman charged after alleged role in drug intervention
WAYNESBURG – A woman who allegedly told police she was attempting to help a friend kick heroin by giving him LSD was charged by Waynesburg police with one count each of possession or distribution of a controlled substance and disorderly conduct and two counts of prohibited acts.
Kaileigh M. Wiegmann, 24, of 106 W. Greene St., Waynesburg allegedly told police Justin Boyer, who was in her home, had taken acid and was having a “bad trip,” according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday with Magisterial District Judge Lou Dayich.
Waynesburg patrolman Bill Nichols said Wiegmann met officers outside her residence to explain what was happening. Nichols said Weigmann told him Boyer, who was a friend of her boyfriend, Keith Mancinelli, was having trouble with hard drugs so she and Mancinelli brought him to their apartment to take LSD.
Wiegmann said they were going to do the LSD with Boyer to give him a “spiritual awakening,” so he could quit hard drugs but he ended up having a bad trip, the complaint said.
Nichols said he began hearing voices coming from inside the apartment that appeared to be argumentative, followed by a struggle. He said Wiegmann looked around the door into the apartment and screamed.
It was then, Nichols said, he saw Boyer trying to remove Mancinelli’s pants and making sexual advances towards him. Nichols said Mancinelli fought off Boyer. Nichols then took Boyer to the ground and handcuffed him.
EMS Southwest transported Boyer to Southwest Regional Medical Center.
Nichols said a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia were on the coffee table inside the apartment. He told Wiegmann and Mancinelli he would obtain a search warrant to search for additional drugs inside the residence or they could voluntarily turn anything else over to him.
According to the complaint, the couple gave Nichols additional marijuana, LSD and 82 items of drug paraphernalia.
No charges have been filed against either Boyer or Mancinelli at this time.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wiegmann at 2:15 p.m. April 6 before Dayich.
