Fremont County Deputies were called on August 23rd at approximately 10:35 p.m. to the 200 block of Park Street in Hamburg for a report of a burglary in progress. The caller advised the female suspect fled the residence and left her 8-year-old child at the scene.

She was arrested and charged with Child Endangerment, 2 counts Theft 1st Degree, 3 counts Burglary 3rd Degree, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Methamphetamine, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
