In 2019, her 3 month old baby was hospitalized with severe head trauma.  The child suffered permanent injuries after Carson failed to get medical attention for the baby two days after the injuries.  Expert witnesses testified the horrific injuries were a result of shaking or shaking with impact.

Earlier this year, Carson was found guilty for battery on a peace officer.  She is facing a  mandatory 18 years incarceration for the child abuse case and 4 years on the battery on a peace officer case.
