AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron man faces a manslaughter charge in connection with a woman's overdose death after he called 911 when he found her unconscious.

Dominic Pelle, 52, is charged with involuntary manslaughter and corrupting another with drugs. He is scheduled Monday for his first appearance in Akron Municipal Court.

Pelle is charged in the Feb. 27 death of Deobrah Catalano, 58.

Pelle and Catalano were at Catalano's apartment in the 400 block of Locust Avenue when Pelle gave Catalano heroin, according to court records.

The next day, he found the mother of two unconscious and called 911 from a neighbor's apartment, police reports say.

Pelle told paramedics about their heroin usage and said he too felt sick. Paramedics took both to Akron General Medical Center, where Catalano was pronounced dead from a heroin overdose, court records say.

Pelle's criminal history spans 30 years. He's been convicted of illegally processing drug documents in 1989, failing to pay child support, forgery and identity theft, aggravated possession of methamphetamine in 2005 and attempted burglary in 2008.

He was sentenced to four years in prison in 2008 for attempted kidnapping, felonious assault, domestic violence and violating a protection order.
