A Dixon woman is behind bars after a minor was found unresponsive at her home in May.
Investigators say on May 22nd, they received a 911 from 49-year-old Kelli Riggen, who told police there was someone at her residence that was not breathing. Police say once officers and first responders arrived, they found a minor boy. The boy was taken to the hospital, where he later died. Following his death, an investigation was launched.
Police say that investigation showed that the boy had been left outside, unattended, and was intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness. The results of the investigation were then turned over to the Lee County State’s Attorney’s office.
Riggen was processed at the Dixon Police Department on Wednesday on a True Bill of indictment that was issued by the Lee County Grand Jury on October 16th.
She is being charged with two felony counts of endangering the life or health of a child, two misdemeanor counts of endangering the life or health of a child, one felony count of reckless conduct and one misdemeanor count of reckless conduct.
