“Yesterday, Ian J. Kohn, 28, of Charlestown Township, waived his preliminary hearing on charges that include homicide and endangering the welfare of a child. He is accused of giving his toddler son a lethal cocktail of methadone and Ambien in March. Although Kohn initially denied giving his son drugs, police said he later told them that he routinely put methadone and Ambien, a sleeping aid, in the boy’s bottle. Kohn said he crushed the pills with a cigarette lighter and sometimes mixed them into Gatorade, the criminal complaint said.”
