Summary
Mikaylee Rae Beirne, 31, was arrested after Washington County deputies said she tried to drown one of her children in a backyard pool in Johnson City on July 15.
Witnesses told investigators Beirne was in the pool with multiple children when one child ran inside for help, prompting an adult to rush out and pull her away after she allegedly refused to release the child.
The child was taken from the water with minor injuries and bruising, while Beirne left before deputies arrived and was found a short time later.
Beirne was charged with aggravated child abuse and neglect and is being held at the Washington County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.
