Police last week arrested a 34-year-old Norwalk woman by warrant and charged her with third-degree assault, disorderly conduct and three counts of risk of injury to a child.
She turned herself in to police at about 6:07 p.m. on Oct. 10.
The warrant stemmed from an investigation launched Aug. 19, according to police.
Under state law, a person is guilty of risk of injury if he or she “wilfully or unlawfully causes or permits any child under the age of sixteen years to be placed in such a situation that the life or limb of such child is endangered, the health of such child is likely to be injured or the morals of such child are likely to be impaired, or does any act likely to impair the health or morals of any such child,” among other reasons.
Police released the woman on $10,000 bond and scheduled her to appear Oct. 16 in state Superior Court.
