A woman was arrested by Monroe County Sheriffs deputies after she bound her 11-year-old son and locked him inside a car, and attempted to set the vehicle on fire at Roselawn Memorial Park in LaSalle Tuesday.
Deputies arrived minutes later and found the Focus emitting smoke from the passenger compartment, but the mother and son could not be found. Deputies located the pair in a different part of the cemetery talking to staff....
A preliminary investigation revealed the mother bound her son at the wrists and locked him inside the car. The mother started a fire in the trunk with the boy still inside. The mother later attempted to start another fire using gasoline inside the passenger compartment where the boy sat. The second fire did not ignite while the boy struggled to free himself from the vehicle. The mother then freed the boy from the car and they walked away until locating an employee of the cemetery. The employee freed the boy from the bindings.

The motive for Sherri Richters alleged actions was revealed in court documents, which also showed she was legally drunk at the time.
The woman accused of setting a car on fire with her young son tied up inside allegedly committed the act because the boy was overweight.

Monroe County officials would not comment Friday on the suspected motive of a Frenchtown Township woman they said tried to kill her young son.
Sherri Richter, 48, is accused of trying to set her 11-year-old boy on fire inside her car at Roselawn Memorial Park. She was arraigned Thursday on charges of assault with intent to murder and arson.
A 1st District Court judge in Monroe set bond at $100,000. She remained held in the county jail.
