On November 2, 2024, at approximately 3:45 am, Thompson RCMP were called to a residence on Ashberry Place, after a request for assistance.
When officers arrived on scene, a loud disturbance could be heard from within the unit. Upon entry, officers learned two adult females, ages 26 and 41, were arguing after the 26-year-old had dropped a 5-month old infant on the floor multiple times.
Officers located the child hidden in an entertainment unit, EMS were called and transported the infant to hospital, with non-life-threatening injuries.
Upon discharge from hospital, the infant was released into the care of a relative.
The 26-year-old female, from Thompson, was charged with Criminal Negligence Causing Bodily Harm and Fail to Provide the Necessaries of Life.
She was later released from police custody for a court appearance scheduled for January 28, 2025, in Thompson.
The investigation continues.
