An Oakland Township woman claimed she was giving her daughter money, not the drugs that killed her when the two of them met at a laundromat April 16, according to testimony at a preliminary hearing Monday.

Nichole Saeler, 46, appeared before District Judge William Fullerton. She was wearing an ankle monitor, a condition of her non-monetary bond on two felony charges, including drug delivery resulting in death and criminal use of a communication facility.
