Mug shot: Mother arrested, charged after July drowning of 3-year-old in Webster, court docs say

WEBSTER, Texas – A mother was arrested Tuesday and has been charged after the drowning of her 3-year-old son in Webster in July, court documents said.

Christina Renee Meeks, 32, was charged with abandoning a child under 15. She is being held in the Harris County Jail.

Officers with the Webster Police Department said they conducted a warrant service in the 800 block of W. Nasa Parkway around 3:45 p.m.

Police said Meeks was placed in custody for an outstanding Harris County warrant for endangering a child, which stemmed from the drowning death of her 3-year-old son Mars Bedell on July 5. Authorities said the child drowned two days before it was decided his organs would be donated.
