CLEVELAND — The 30-year-old Ohio mother who was accused of killing her 3-year-old son pleaded in court Monday and given a $1 million bond.

Timmeka Eggleton, 30, of Cleveland, was arrested in June for allegedly killing her son with blunt-force trauma, News Center 7 previously reported.

The 3-year-old son was admitted to Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital on June 14. After his admittance, he was pronounced dead at the hospital due to life-threatening injuries.

The mother was taken into custody in the 7900 block of Euclid Avenue, in the Fairfax neighborhood, on the same day as the primary suspect.

Eggleton was charged with aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and endangering children, according to WOIO.

She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas.

Following the plea, the mother received a bond of $1 million.
