The police officers allege that Allen started off hitting her 19-year-old boyfriend and father of the child “several times in the face with a closed hand.” She then resorted to using the infant “as a weapon.” When the baby was dropped into the sand, the boyfriend quickly picked the baby up because he was unable to roll over on his own yet.
Witnesses report that Allen then “snatched” the baby back and walked away with the child “dangling” and without his head being supported. As she walked up the set of boardwalk stairs, the baby boy’s head hit a railing. Police have witness statements from around 20 people all reporting on her “carelessness.”

Allen blamed the baby’s father for pushing her earlier in the day several times. She admitted to hitting the man in the face but denies throwing her baby into the sand. The child was taken to Daytona Beach hospital for “treatment and further evaluation.” An aunt, one of many family members that witnessed the event accompanied the child.
Allen has been arrested for aggravated child abuse and battery. She is being held on $30,000 bond.
