"Ms. Killingworth stopped showing up to court, so she currently has open bench warrants in Milwaukee County for these offenses," said U.S. Marshals Task Force Officer Ryan Carpenter. "Ms. Killingworth assumes the longer she stays out, the case will just go away."
Carpenter said Killingworth is a co-defendant in the case.
"A 15-year-old female came to the Milwaukee Police Department," Carpenter said.
