TOLEDO, Ohio — A Toledo woman was arrested and charged on Sunday due to an incident at the site of Braylen Noble's memorial at Hunters Ridge Apartments.

Elaine Bowersox, 59, was arrested on Sept. 20 and charged with disorderly conduct and menacing, knowingly causing another to believe they may be in danger of serious physical harm.

A victim reported to Toledo police that she feared for her safety while outside. The victim watched as Bowersox carried a bat and allegedly damaged and threw items around at the site of Braylen Noble's memorial.

Bowersox was taken to the Lucas County Corrections Center.

The body of 3-year-old Braylen Noble was found in the nearby pool at the apartment complex after he was reported missing earlier this month.

People stopped by the memorial today, leaving more items to honor Braylen.

Editor's note: An earlier version of this reporting erroneously stated that Braylen Noble's death has been ruled a homicide. No cause of death, nor an official ruling has been made as of this writing in the case of Braylen Noble.
