FENTON, Michigan -- Instead of spending seven weeks getting substance abuse treatment, Kelly Arthurs -- the Fenton mom charged in the death of one of her twin daughters -- will spend that time in jail.

Circuit Judge Geoffrey Neithercut sent Arthurs to jail Tuesday after she showed up at the Fenton home where her surviving daughter lives, a violation of her $10,000 bond.

Arthurs is charged with second-degree murder in the March 10 death of her daughter Kelsey Jo Caswell. Prosecutors believe Arthurs was high on cocaine when she left a Fenton restaurant with her two daughters, shortly before crashing near McCall Road when she lost control of her vehicle while going about 70 mph.

Barbara Kincaid, curator of the Linden Mills Historical Museum, said she hopes people take advantage of the last opportunity of the year to view historical memorabilia that has local significance.
