Authorities say a 23-year-old Winnsboro woman is facing attempted second-degree murder charges after allegedly tossing her daughter from a moving vehicle.

Franklin Parish sheriff's deputies arrested Lasasha Allen Sunday after she sought medical treatment for her 20-month-old daughter's injuries, which include a fractured skull and several broken bones.

The girl is in stable condition at University Health Shreveport.

Sheriff Kevin Cobb tells The News-Star Allen told investigators different accounts of the incident, but later said she intentionally caused her infant to be tossed from a moving vehicle.

"She told the child's father the girl fell out of a window of the car and hurt herself and said her intention was to get a reaction from him so he came back," Cobb said.

However, when the father did not react how Allen wanted, Cobb said, she set up the scenario to intentionally hurt the child and cover up her lie.
