TULSA, Okla. (AP) Police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, say a day care
worker is being held in the death of a two-year-old boy whose hands
had been bound and his mouth covered with masking tape.

Vicki Leigh Chiles is being held without bail on a complaint of
first-degree murder. Police say Chiles was the only worker at the
facility at the time. She was looking after eight children ages
seven and younger.

An arrest report says Chiles told police the boy would not be
quiet for nap time, so she used tape to silence him.

The report says Chiles told investigators she left the boy
unattended for a few minutes and came back to find him lying on the
floor unresponsive.
