Mother charged with filing false report in Arkansas child endangerment case

Jonesboro, AR – Lyrica Maisha Noble has been charged with one count of filing a false report regarding her infant son. The case initially involved charges against the child’s father, Larry Donell Lee, 27, for child endangerment.

The incident took place on November 6 outside a residence on Churchill Drive. At that time, Noble claimed her child had been left outside unattended for nearly half an hour.

Noble recently acknowledged that she was at home when Lee returned the child to her. This admission contradicts her initial claims that she was not present during the incident.

The change in Noble’s story occurred two days after the initial report. In her initial version, she stated the child was left in a car seat on the porch and had vomit on them.

On November 21, her account shifted. She admitted to law enforcement that she had been home during the incident and had retrieved the child immediately after Lee informed her the infant was outside.

Noble’s admissions led to the filing of charges against her for providing false information. She was arrested and booked into the Craighead County Detention Center, though she is not currently listed on the jail roster.

Noble’s court appearance is scheduled for January 23, according to court records.
