An anonymous Crime stoppers tip helped Spokane Police track down the female responsible for the assault of a 3 year old boy on Wednesday morning.
Officer Wayne Downing and Officer Shaney Redmon followed up on the tip which led them to several addresses around Spokane. A final lead on an address brought them to an apartment at 1400 N. Lincoln, shortly after 4:00pm. The female suspect, identified as 28 year old Keyana L. Key, and her three young children were being hidden by Key's sister, identified as 39 year old Aletha A. Robinson.
Keyana Key was arrested and booked into the Spokane County Jail for 2nd Degree Assault of a Child-DV.
Aletha Robinson was arrested and booked into the Spokane County Jail for 2nd Degree Rendering Criminal Assistance.
The 3 year old victim appeared lethargic and was transported to a local hospital for tests to determine injuries. Key's two other children were placed in the custody of Child Protective Services.
The Spokane Police Department would like to thank the citizens who called in tips and helped us locate the suspect. If you believe a child has been assaulted or is being abused, please call Crime Check or 9-1-1 if it is an emergency.
