The former executive director of the state Democratic Party could face a first-degree reckless homicide charge for the drug overdose death last month of a woman at his home in Fitchburg, according to a search warrant filed this week.
The search warrant, filed on Monday but not made available until Tuesday, states that Jason T. Sidener, 42, told Fitchburg police that he took the 30-year-old woman to St. Mary’s Hospital’s emergency room on Sept. 12 after waking up that morning to find her “breathing really weird,” suspecting that she may have used heroin at his home on Bantry Lane in Fitchburg.
The woman, identified as Monique E. Allen, of Madison, was dead upon arrival at the hospital, according to the warrant. An obituary for Allen says she is survived by three children.
