(11-22-24) Taylor Lautzenheiser (32) of Coldwater was booked today on numerous charges including a 1st degree felony of involuntary manslaughter, result of felony.
involuntary manslaughter means that a person had no intention of killing another, but due to their actions while committing another crime, they caused the death of a human being. This type of crime is often referred to as “criminal negligence,” since there was no intent to kill.
Involuntary manslaughter is charged as a third degree felony in Ohio, which is punishable by nine months to five years in prison. But if another person was killed (or a pregnancy was terminated) — unintentionally — in the commission or even attempt of a felony, then it is charged as a first-degree felony (up to 11 years in prison).
Other charges she faces includes corrupting another with drugs, trafficking in drugs and possession of fentanyl related compound…all felony charges.
She is being held in the Mercer County Adult Detention Center, with no bond.
She has a Mercer County Common Pleas Court Hearing on November 25th.
