She Dropped Her 5-Year-Old Daughter Off The Top Of A Parking Garage Before Jumping Off And Now She’s Being Charged
28-year-old Jerica Crawford is a mom to a 5-year-old little girl and they live in Plano, Illinois.
Back in February of this year, Jerica allegedly drove to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield…
….And she entered one of their parking garages.
Jerica then walked up to the top floor of the six-floor parking garage, bringing her 5-year-old daughter along with her.

“On February 23, 2021 at approximately 4:38 p.m., Winfield police officers responded to a call at Northwestern Medicine, Central DuPage Hospital, for two subjects who fell off the top of a parking garage on the southwestern part of the campus,” the DuPage County State Attorney’s Office said in a press release.
“Upon their arrival, officers found Crawford and her daughter on the ground next to the parking garage.”
“Both Crawford and her daughter had sustained injuries and were brought into the hospital for treatment.”
“It is alleged that Crawford drove to the top of the parking garage, walked to the edge of the garage and dropped her daughter off the top of the garage before jumping off the garage herself.”

Somehow, Jerica and her daughter miraculously survived the fall and they are both still alive.
“The allegations against Ms. Crawford are extremely disturbing,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said.
“We are all very thankful that both Ms. Crawford and her daughter appear to be well on the road to recovery.”
Jerica was arrested on April 30th and charged with one count of aggravated Battery to a Child Under 13.
Yesterday, she appeared in bond court, where the judge set her bond at half a million dollars. Her next court date has been set for May 24th.
