A mother has been arrested and charged in the death of her 14-year-old daughter after witnesses saw her holding the girl’s head underwater in a bathtub, according to police in Florida.
Kelsey Glover, 35, has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery charges.
Police are awaiting a report from the medical examiner’s office to confirm the girl’s cause of death, before they upgrade the charges, Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez said at a press conference late Wednesday.
Deputies responded to a Florida residence after they received calls about an armed disturbance.
When they arrived on the scene, the disturbance was still taking place inside the home, according to Lopez.
When officers arrived on the scene, they wrestled with Glover, trying to get a hammer away from her, as she tried to strike a witness who was attempting to prevent her from harming her daughter, Lopez said.
