(Stearns County, MN)--A central Minnesota woman who was charged in the drug overdose death of her neighbor has pleaded guilty to an amended charge. Kayla Reynolds, 33, of Cold Spring, was charged with 3rd-degree murder in the April 2020 death of 49-year-old Heidi Hiltner. Reynolds agreed to a guilty plea on a charge of 2nd-degree drug sales in exchange for the murder charge being dropped. A criminal complaint says Reynolds called authorities after she hadn't heard or seen Hiltner for a few days. A police officer reportedly found Hiltner dead inside of her apartment.

An autopsy of Hiltner's body determined her death was due to mixed drug toxicity. Sentencing will be August.
