According to a Variety report, the wife of the executive producer of ABC News was arrested on two counts of endangering a child hours after Tejera died on December 23. This information was provided by the NYPD’s public information office.
Who is Veronica Rocio Bautista?
Veronica Rocio Bautista is the daughter of Rocio Bautista and José C. Bautista, a project manager at Salazar and Associates. For those of you who are not familiar with her, let us introduce you to her.
The mother of the 33-year-old works as a teacher in Howell, New Jersey. Veronica received her Penn State diploma.
Veronica formerly served as a producer for “CNN Right Now With Brianna Keilar” in 2019. She and Dax first connected in 2013 in New York thanks to a common friend.
Soon after that, they began dating, and on August 3, 2019, they got married in Cartagena, Colombia at the La Catedral of Santa Catalina de Alejandra.
Returning to Veronica’s detention, let us inform you that Tejera was apparently arrested by the authorities on two counts of “acting in a manner detrimental to a child” just hours after her husband’s passing.
According to a New York Police Department official who talked to the media site Variety, on December 23, at about 11:00 p.m., they responded to 50 Vanderbilt Avenue in Manhattan after receiving a report of “unattended youngsters.”
Initial inquiry, according to a Variety article, showed that the two kids—a 2-year-old girl and a 5-month-old girl—were left alone in a hotel room “for a lengthy amount of time.”
Authorities claim that Tejera received a desk ticket appearance following her arrest. For the benefit of individuals who are uncertain, a desk ticket entails an upcoming court appearance in a criminal court.
