TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) - Authorities in southwestern Arkansas say a 28-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the July drowning death of her 1-year-old daughter.
The Miller County Sheriff’s Office says Danielle Mitchell was arrested on Friday on a complaint of first-degree endangering the welfare of a minor.
Authorities say that on July 9, deputies responded to reports of a drowned child at a residence in a rural area near Texarkana, about 135 miles (217 kilometers) southwest of Little Rock.
Sheriff’s office investigators say Mitchell had been caring for three young children at the time. The 1-year-old drowned in a bathtub.
It was not immediately clear if Mitchell is represented by an attorney.
