PENDER COUNTY -- A Mount Olive woman arrested Wednesday tried to drown her four children in a bathtub, authorities in Pender County say.

Aeisha Milton, 29, is charged with four counts of attempted first-degree murder.

Pender County sheriff's deputies responded to an address in the 9400 block of N.C. 11 at about 11:55 a.m. in reference to a mother reportedly trying to drown her four children in a bathtub.

Milton was then arrested and charged following an investigation into the incident.

The children range in age from 10 months to 3 years old.

They were taken to Pender Memorial Hospital and have since been released.

Milton is being held in the Pender County Jail without bond.

The investigation is ongoing and no further information is currently being released.
