A Tennessee woman has been arrested after police said she allegedly drowned her 7-year-old daughter after having a “rough day," RadarOnline.com has learned.
On July 13, officers in Hendersonville received information regarding a child that drowned in Drakes Creek, Front Page Detectives reported.
Detectives went to the scene and determined the child’s mother, 33-year-old Brandi Elliott, killed her daughter, according to court documents obtained by WKRN-TV.
The documents show police learned Elliott wanted to leave her daughter at their apartment so she could have some time to herself “after having a rough day.”
However, cops say her daughter did not want to be alone, so she followed Elliott.
