|. November isth, Detectave Sergeant Larry Dailey from the Alexandria Police Department
and Social Worker Nancy Weibe from Douglas County Social Servaces went to the
elementary school and conducted an anterview with A.H. During the interview, A.H.
reported that the incident had occurred the previous day (meaning Sunday, November
14, 2010) in the bathroom. Ms. Weibe took photographs of A.U.'s inguries so that
they could be documented. A. lives in a residence located at 1207 Irvang Street,
an Alexandria, Douglas County, MN, with her aiblings and her adoptive mothers,
Jennifer and Sarah Hart. After interviewing A.H , Detective Sergeant Dailey called
Jennifer and Sarah Hart and asked them to cone to the Law Enforcement Center to be

behavior The defendant admitted that she let her anger get out of control the
previous day wale dealing with AH. ‘The defendant explained that she took A.H
into the bathroom and bent AH over the edge of the bathtub. The defendant
admitted that she bit A-H. on the backside and acknowledged that the marks on A.H.
stomach probably came from A.H. beang bent over the tub.
