Orange County deputies have arrested a man they said tried to drown his toddler in a pool Monday night.
Deputies responded to a call about a man attempting to drown a child just before 10:30 p.m. When they arrived, they learned that family members jumped in the pool and were able to rescue the child, but the man, identified as 29-year-old Wilkens Ordena, had left the premises..
Ordena ended up returning to the scene, and when he tried to flee again, he reportedly rammed deputies' vehicles and the exit gate to the complex. Deputies eventually took him into custody.
The toddler's mother, Shantia Warren, now wants justice and told FOX 35 that she is grateful Ordena is locked up and that her son is still alive.
Ordena appeard in court on Tuesday, where he was denied bond by a judge.
Deputies said Ordena was “irritated” to see that his father was babysitting his son. According to a report, Ordena grabbed the toddler and left, jumping the fence around a pool and throwing little Kameron in the water.
According to the report, Ordena’s father and brother chased him down, fighting him in the pool to save the toddler. Deputies said several neighbors also stepped in to help. They said Ordena was clenching the child’s body between his thighs. The suspect’s father had to put him in a choke hold to release the toddler from his grip, according to the report.
