Cheerleader at the University of Kentucky accused in conjunction with an infant's fatal incident

Laken Snelling, a senior and a member of the University of Kentucky's stunt team, has found herself embroiled in a tragic and shocking incident. The 22-year-old is facing multiple charges related to the death of a newborn, following an incident at her parents' home in Tennessee.

Last Wednesday, the police were called to Snelling's residence. The charges against Snelling, which were announced by police, include abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant.

According to reports, Snelling allegedly admitted to giving birth and concealing the birth. The dead newborn was found wrapped in a towel inside a black trash bag, hidden away in a closet at her home.

On Tuesday, Snelling pleaded her innocence in the Fayette District Court. The exact charges against her have not been specified to have been updated since the initial announcement. The court proceedings on this day are not directly mentioned, but it is known that Snelling was granted a $100,000 bond.

Snelling was arrested and charged in connection with the incident, as confirmed by the arrest citation issued by the police. The police have not released further details about the discovery of the dead newborn at her home.

It is worth noting that at this time, search results do not contain information about a university athlete arrested and charged in connection with the death of their newborn.

Snelling's role as a university cheerleader at the University of Kentucky has not been mentioned in the context of the charges she is facing. The focus remains on the tragic events that have unfolded and the legal proceedings that are to follow.
