Pike County Sheriff Kenny Cotton told news outlets Tuesday that deputies went to Ericka Hall’s residence last week when she reported that her 12- and 14-year-old daughters had tried to run her over with a vehicle. Hall did not want to press charges over the incident.
Hall was found dead outside her home early Saturday and both daughters are charged with murder. The 14-year-old is charged as an adult and is being held in the Pike County jail pending $150,000 bail. The 12-year-old is being held in juvenile detention.
The Associated Press doesn’t normally identify juveniles accused of crimes.
