BRYAN WOMAN ARRESTED IN DEATH OF STEPDAUGHTER
(Brazos Co. Jail)
A Bryan woman faces charges after the death of her stepdaughter, Tuesday night.
Police were called to the home of 40-year old Jessica Bundren just after 9:00 p.m., Tuesday. At the scene they found the six-year-old child, dead.
Bundren admitted she disciplined the child with a belt and made her sleep on the floor. However, Bundren said the girl was breathing when she last checked on her.
Police say the girl had bruises on her face and legs as well as welts on her torso with small puncture wounds.
After searching the home, police say they found a belt that had a slit on the end with metal rivets, which matched the injuries on the girl.
Bundren has been charged with Injury to a Child. The investigation continues.
