NEW BUFFALO, Mich.— A northwest Indiana woman accused in the death of her 10-year-old foster child has been taken into custody in Michigan following a days-long search.
According to the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office, 48-year-old Jennifer Wilson was arrested just before 8 p.m. on Saturday in New Buffalo, Michigan.
Wilson has been charged with reckless homicide in connection with the death of 10-year-old Dakota Levi Stevens in late April.
Stevens was in the foster care of Wilson when she allegedly “laid on his midsection and called his caseworker” after he threw himself on the ground after returning from their neighbor’s home on the afternoon of Monday, April 25.
According to court documents, Wilson’s neighbor told officers that the boy had run to her house and asked her to adopt him a half hour before the incident.
Prosecutors said the alleged incident was captured on Ring video.
A spokesperson from DCS said Wilson’s foster home license had been revoked as of June 30, 2024
