A Missouri woman was accused by prosecutors of abandoning her four children, all under the age of 10, during a severe weather warning.

Crystal Ray, 27, was arrested by St. Ann police on March 14 after officials were alerted to four young children — ranging in age from 8 months to 8 years old — being home alone during a “severe weather event,” according to a criminal complaint. The complaint filed by prosecutors stated that when officers finally made contact with Ray, she “exhibited signs of intoxication” and attacked the officers as they attempted to arrest her.
