PERRY, Ga. (AP) — Bond has been denied for a woman accused of hitting son with her car after shoplifting.
Houston County Superior Court Judge Edward Lukemire said Thursday that Arkebia Albury had a habit of missing court dates and was too close to potential witnesses to be released from jail.
Police say Albury was fleeing a loss prevention officer at a Belk store in Centerville last month when her son was run over.
Assistant District Attorney Greg Winters says the boy suffered brain swelling, a fractured skull and cracked ribs. He says the boy may be taken off of life support Friday.
Defense attorney Larry Fouche says Albury needs to be with her son, and was named by county officials as a head start parent of the year in April.
