RICHBURG ARREST REPORT

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Holt woman Thursday who placed a 16-month old child in a roadway while she confronted a homeowner on Haybarn Road, then walked away and left the toddler after he had made his way into a nearby dog kennel.

28-year old Carrie Richburg of 4664 Haybarn Road is charged with child neglect without great harm and disorderly conduct. Deputies responded to 4670 Haybarn Road around 4:30 p.m. after a women called to say Richburg was at that address making threats. Deputies report that Richburg appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance and was cursing in a loud voice at unseen persons in trees. They learned when Richburg arrived outside the home, she placed a 16-month old in the southbound lane of traffic. The child crawled or walked approximately 100 feet to the inside of a dog kennel. The resident says she told Richburg to get the child but she refused and walked down the road.

When an OCSO Sergeant arrived and got to the child, he says the toddler was clothed only in a diaper and had ants crawling on his bare skin. The boy had been bitten several times by the ants.

Richburg says she was unaware the child had crawled to the dog kennel or was being bitten.
