Local Woman faces charge of child injury

A Clarendon woman is facing a third-degree felony charge for injury to a child following a grand jury indictment on March 21.

Taylor Danielle Schwertner, age 26, was arrested and booked into the Donley County Jail last Thursday, March 30, after she turned herself in on a warrant. She was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Sarah Hatley with bond set at $10,000.

Schwertner posted bond and was released Friday evening, according to Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn.

“It’s sad, but we work this type of case fairly often, at least once a year,” the sheriff said.
Blackburn said his office began investigating this case September 18 and finished and turned it over the district attorney’s office in early October.
