A Virginia mom is facing murder charges in connection with the death of her 4-year-old son, police say.
Dorothy Annette Clements, 30, was indicted Monday by a Spotsylvania County Grand Jury for the death of her son. Clements’ son died on May 8, 2022, after suffering a medical emergency two days before, at a home in the 5400 block of Jamie Court, the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office said.
Detectives from the department’s Child Victims Unit investigated the child’s death and learned from doctors that the child’s toxicity level showed a “high level” of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the active chemical found in cannabis that produces a “high.”
A spokesperson from the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office said that the child died on Sunday, May 8, after suffering a medical emergency two days earlier in a home in the 5400 block of Jamie Court.
Detectives from the agency’s Child Victim Unit investigated the death, which led to them determining from doctors that the child’s toxicity level showed a high level of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), the substance responsible for the effects of marijuana.
Statements made to detectives by Clements did not match evidence seized at the home, according to investigators, and a Spotsylvania County grand jury indicted her on the murder and neglect charge on Monday, Oct. 17, and she was taken into custody on Thursday, Oct. 20.
Clements is being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond. No initial court appearance has been announced.
