EULESS, Texas (AP) — A Texas woman accused of trying to drown a 3-year-old at an apartment complex pool in suburban Dallas after making racist remarks toward the child’s mother has been rearrested following an increase in her bond to $1 million, according to court records.
Elizabeth Wolf, 42, had been released on a $40,000 bond after being charged with attempted capital murder and injury to a child. Police in Euless, a Dallas suburb, allege that on May 19, a “very intoxicated” Wolf tried to drown the child and had argued with the child’s mother.
Police said the child’s mother told officers Wolf accused her of not being American, along with other racial statements.
Following a court hearing last week, Wolf’s bond was increased and she was rearrested, police said.
Wolf remained jailed in Fort Worth on Wednesday, according to Tarrant County records.
Wolf’s attorney did not immediately return a call Wednesday seeking comment.
In a statement, the Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said it welcomed Wolf’s rearrest.
