FAIRFIELD – Illinois State Police say a Fairfield woman has been arrested on multiple charges in a child manslaughter investigation.

ISP’s Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Zone 8, alongside the Fairfield Police Department, announced Wednesday the arrest of 36-year-old Adreian D.A. Hooper of Fairfield for Involuntary Manslaughter (Class 2 Felony), Endangering the Life of a Child – Death (Class 3 Felony), Reckless Conduct (Class 4 Felony), and Endangering the Life of a Child (Class A Misdemeanor).

ISP was requested by Fairfield Police to help in the death investigation of a 1-year-old boy and the severe injury of another 2-year-old boy in the 1200 block of Illinois Avenue around 7:40 Sunday night. Both children were reported to have been left in a vehicle for multiple hours. The Child Death Investigative Task Force was subsequently activated.

Then on Tuesday, after a thorough investigation, the Wayne County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Hooper with the above-mentioned charges. Hooper is currently being held in the Wayne County Jail.
