Woman arrested after child gives away hiding spot

[January 20, 2009]  FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) -- A Fort Pierce woman ended up in jail because of a little girl with a big mouth.

Police went to the home of 22-year-old woman on Friday to serve warrants for assault, harassing phone calls and violating probation by carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

Officers said two men and a woman at the house told officers that the woman had left, but then a 4-year-old child approached one of the officers and revealed that the woman was under a bed.

Officers found the woman exactly where the child said she would be.

She was arrested and being held without bail.
