.Police have arrested 28-year-old Mollie Shouse and charged her with murder after they say she left her 2-year-old son, Kenton Brown, in her car for several hours while the temperature outside climbed to the mid 80′s. On Saturday, Kenton Brown’s grandparents found him unresponsive inside his mother’s Toyota Corolla parked right outside Shouse’s apartment.
Neighbors say they were alerted something was wrong when they heard screams and found an older woman rolling around in the grass. That’s when they say Shouse came running out of her apartment in her underwear. One neighbor tried to revive the boy, but it was too late. The coroner said his cause of death was consistent with environmental hyperthermia.
Shouse pleaded not guilty to the murder charges Monday morning, but she’s also facing charges of second-degree possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana after Xanax and marijuana were found inside her home. I’m guessing she was under the influence of one or both of these drugs when she left Kenton in the car. Shouse has been charged with driving under the influence twice before as well as having past charges of tampering with evidence and possession of marijuana.
Kenton’s father also happens to be Kenneth Brown, the man serving time in prison for the 2010 murder of LaShawn “Sugar Shizz” Talbert, who inspired a Louisville dance craze called “The Shizz.” Brown’s attorney is trying to get Brown out of prison long enough to attend his son’s funeral.
