Cheyenne Hill, 33, formerly of Bedford, faces a felony charge of neglect of a dependent in the Nov. 26 death of Elliaunna Plummer, records say.
BEDFORD — Lawrence County prosecutors charged a 33-year-old woman with child neglect in the death of a 19-month-old girl.
Elliaunna was taken to IU Health Bedford Hospital on Nov. 23 with brain injuries, a broken collar bone and bruises on her face and head, prosecutors say. Doctors told investigators Elliaunna's injuries appeared to be caused by abuse, prosecutors say. A pathologist found the child died of blunt-force trauma to the head and ruled her death a homicide, court records say.
"Elli randomly jumps off things and falls on the floor and pulls at her ears and hair so much she has bruising," Hill told one witness, according to the affidavit.She moved away from Bedford before prosecutors filed a neglect charge against her on Aug. 23. Hill was arrested Sept. 17 in Marquette County, Michigan, police said.
