Florida Mom Accused of Attempted Murder

(Marathon, Florida) A 19-year-old local woman, Elizabeth Garcia, has been accused of attempted murder of her two-month-old baby.

Garcia was arrested last Friday.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office says a video obtained by investigators with the Department of Children and Families shows Elizabeth Garcia trying to hit the child with a rock.

The video reportedly shows Garcia holding the child in one arm and with a piece of concrete in her other hand. When she tried to strike the child, two men nearby were able to stop her.

Garcia has also been charged with carrying a concealed weapon stemming from an incident where she pulled a knife when confronted by deputies.
