Arrest made in death of fetus

From the Associated Press:

ONTARIO -- A Hesperia woman has been arrested on suspicion of causing the death of a pregnant relative's fetus following a fight between the women last year.

Ontario police Detective Jeff Crittenden said Tuesday that 27-year-old Nieshia Johnson is being held on more than $1 million bail for investigation of murder.

Crittenden said Johnson was babysitting for the relative in November when the women got into an argument, then a fight over Johnson disciplining the victim's children. Later, the victim went to the hospital for treatment and she lost her more than 8-week-old fetus.

It was later determined that the fetus was delivered prematurely due to blunt force trauma.

It's not immediately known whether Johnson has retained an attorney.
