Florida Woman Charged After Deputies Say She Threw Beer Bottles at Toddler

Sworn witness statements underpin the charge.

Overview

  • Deputies arrested and charged Carolyn Miller in the Fort Walton Beach area following Tuesday's 6:30 p.m. disturbance call.
  • Investigators say she had just fallen from a bicycle when a 3-year-old walked over to check on her.
  • Witnesses, including the child's parents, reported she threw two beer bottles toward the toddler with enough force to hit his head if he had not ducked.
  • No injuries to the child were reported, and Miller had a minor finger injury from the fall.
  • She told deputies she believed she was being attacked, and officials did not disclose whether she received bond.
