Woman accused of trying to drown 3-year-old Muslim child is rearrested after bond increased to $1M

CNN — A woman accused of trying to drown a 3-year-old Muslim and Palestinian child in an apartment complex pool in Texas has been rearrested, inmate records show.

Elizabeth Wolf, 42, who was arrested on May 19 in connection with the accusations in the Dallas-area city of Euless, had been charged with attempted capital murder of a person under 10 years old and injury to a child, but was released after posting bail.

During a subsequent bond hearing on June 27, her bond for the attempted capital murder charge was increased to $1 million, and she was taken back into custody, Euless police Capt. Brenda Alvarado told CNN Tuesday. Wolf still was in custody Tuesday, inmate records showed.

The incident is being investigated as a hate crime, Alvarado said.

The Tarrant County district attorney’s office has received the case for filing and the matter remains under investigation, police said.

CNN has sought comment from Wolf’s attorney.

A court date is set for October 17, a docket shows.
