Woman accused of poisoning son due mental exams
A woman who is accused of administering a methadone overdose to injure her 6-year-old son will have her mental status evaluated twice, a Tulsa County judge decided Friday.
Patricia Robson, also known as Patricia Creger, awaits trial on a charge of injuring Tilman Robson, who a physician said received a "life-threatening overdose" of methadone.
Defense attorney Dave Keesling applied for the competency examination.
In a court document, Keesling wrote that he is unable to communicate with his client in order to prepare an adequate defense and that she has "exhibited irrational behavior" and "is unable to consistently recall the events leading up to her arrest."
District Judge Jesse Harris ruled that along with being examined by an expert hired by the defense, Robson must also consent to an evaluation by a psychologist retained by prosecutors.
Harris scheduled a Sept. 30 court review for Robson, 42. She remains free on $100,000 bail.
Tilman was taken by ambulance to a Tulsa hospital on Jan. 29. He was initially listed in critical condition, and his mother was arrested Jan. 30 in Tulsa.
The boy has since been living in Washington state with his father, who has been embroiled in a divorce action with the defendant.
Methadone is a narcotic pain reliever that is also used in the treatment of addiction to heroin.
