A woman was arrested after reportedly being found under the influence, but the Kentucky State Police says further investigation revealed criminal abuse of her own children.

According to Troopers, a report came in around 11:15 p.m. on Thursday about a woman passed out behind the wheel of her vehicle with a child nearby. When police went to the scene on Bourbon Road in Somerset, they found 33-year-old Roxanna Williams under the influence in her car. She was taken into custody.

Troopers also found the child, and called social services. Upon further investigation, police say they discovered Williams may have left her three other children at home alone.


Officers then went to the home and found the children. Troopers say one of them, a 4-year-old, was discovered with her ankles bound with zip ties. Police say the child was also in poor health.

The children were placed in protective custody with social services and taken to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital for treatment.

Williams was charged with DUI, wanton endangerment, assault, criminal abuse, possession, tampering with physical evidence, and abandonment.

A Somerset woman is facing charges including assault, criminal abuse, and wanton endangerment after allegedly restraining her 4-year-old daughter with zip ties.

After a social worker familiar with the family was called to the scene, the suspect couldn't answer as to where her other three children were located, the Herald-Leader reported. The other three children -- ages 10 months, 4 years, and 8 years, were allegedly found at a Somerset house which was in "deplorable condition," according to the citation. The 4-year-old allegedly had cuts on her wrist and head, bruises on her back, and marks on her neck, and allegedly couldn't move one arm, according to the citation.

The girls told Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital workers that her mother kept her in the basement by herself and hit her and kicked her, after being taken to the hospital, according to the Herald-Leader.

Police allegedly found zip ties fixed to various objects, such as a bed and dressers, according to Cowan's report, and the girl allegedly had marks on her wrist consistent with the zip ties.

Mom pleaded guilty to numerous charges in order to have numerous more dropped. She apparently will get around a 17 year sentence, although I didn’t find an article confirming that. If found guilty at trial she could have gotten 70 years.
