The Miramar police department has made a second arrest in a child abuse case after discovering three firearms in a hamper of dirty clothes, under a mattress and inside a bag at the kids’ home.
Daphne Sharray Brownlee was arrested Sunday and has been charged with four counts of child neglect without bodily harm. The 39-year-old woman remained behind bars at the Paul Rein Detention Facility on Tuesday morning on a $10,000 bond.
This follows the arrest in March of Ellon Shawn Clarke, Brownlee’s boyfriend, after police accused him of striking one of his stepchildren with a stick and a rock over a missing handgun. The 43-year-old man, who was charged with aggravated child abuse and child neglect, remains at Broward County’s Main Jail.
