Louisiana toddler found dead in trash can, police arrest mom and her boyfriend



Louisiana police have arrested a mother and her boyfriend after they say they recovered her missing 2-year-old dead in a trash can.

Houma police said that around noon on Tuesday Maya Jones, 28, claimed her toddler son Ezekiel Harry had been abducted in front of her by a man in a gray truck along Bayou Terrebonne.

But investigators quickly determined that story was "inaccurate," according to the department.

A neighbor told the New Orleans-based WWL-TV that she had previously heard adults arguing at the home and called 911.

"I called the cops, crying and shaking," Sarah Plaisance, who lives across the street, told the station. "I said please send somebody out here. He is going to kill somebody in this house."

Jones and her boyfriend were expected to be charged with first-degree murder, obstruction of justice and more.

Jail records show Robinson also faces several charges for failure to appear at past court dates, possession of drug paraphernalia and property damage.
