Mom in Microwave Baby Case Has Record
By JAMES HANNAH

DAYTON, Ohio — A woman authorities suspect of killing her month-old daughter by putting her in a microwave oven has previously been convicted of abduction and forgery, court records show.
China Arnold, 26, is charged with aggravated murder in the Aug. 30, 2005, death of her daughter, Paris Talley. She was arrested Monday.
The baby had high-heat internal injuries, but no external burn marks, said Ken Betz, director of the Montgomery County coroner's office.
Arnold was convicted of abducting a 72-year-old woman in 2000, according to records in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. The elderly woman said Arnold approached her in a mall parking lot, said she had a gun, and forced her to drive Arnold downtown. The woman said Arnold asked for her purse, according to a Miami Township police report.
Arnold told police she had no gun, denied that she asked for the woman's purse, and said she was simply trying to scare the woman into giving her a ride home. She said she told the woman she wasn't going to hurt her and eventually showed her that the "gun" was a bottle of lotion inside a glove.
She was also convicted of forgery in 2002. In each case, she was sentenced to five years of probation.
Defense attorney Jon Paul Rion said Arnold's previous convictions have no connection to the current allegations. "Her past acts — none of them involved violence. No one was hurt," Rion said.
He said Arnold is now in a state of shock, and had nothing to do with her daughter's death.
The night before the baby died, Paris was being watched by her paternal aunt. The baby's father, Terrell Talley, said his daughter was fine when he and Arnold arrived home.
The next morning, Talley said he woke up and found the baby had a bruise on her face and was cold and stiff.
The couple rushed the baby to the hospital, Rion said. He said Arnold told hospital officials she didn't know what had happened to the child.
