Mississippi Mom Adrienne McDevitt Accused of ‘Forcibly’ Drowning 2-Year-Old Son!

A Mississippi mom is behind bars after being arrested for allegedly drowning her two-year-old son.

The toddler, Kelly McDevitt Jr., was found dead by deputies who responded to a domestic disturbance.

Although the chain of events leading to the young boy's death is unclear, Lauderdale County Sheriff Ward Calhoun said there was enough evidence to charge Adrienne McDevitt with murder.

Law&Crime's Elizabeth Millner has the details.

Calhoun claimed that Kelly was "forcibly drowned" and Adrienne was the only adult present with the child when deputies arrived at the scene.

The Sheriff said the case will be presented to a grand jury once the investigation is complete.

Adrienne has been charged with murder in connection with the incident.

She is currently being held on a $500,000 bond and will be transferred to jail after her release from a medical facility.
