Detective Don Wolfe on Monday November 17th.  Deloris, during follow-up police interviews, admitted to investigators that she had awoken and witnessed her boyfriend, Jeremy Stewart, assault her infant son which resulted in his death in the early morning hours of October 30th.  Deloris stated that she witnessed Stewart push on the infant and it’s “cry change” as if it were hurting, instead of the normal cry for needing a diaper change or bottle.  Deloris also stated that she didn‘t know how bad Alexander was hurt, but felt that Stewart would take care of him.  Deloris’ new statements are consistent with the evidence surrounding the November 2nd, murder arrest of her boy friend Jeremy Stewart, who remains in the Clark County Jail.  Deloris has been charged with Neglect of a Dependent (causing serious bodily injury), a B Felony; and, False Informing, a B Misdemeanor, in regards to changing her original account of what had happen to investigators.  Deloris is incarcerated at the Clark County Jail and will be arraigned later this week in Clark Circuit Court.
