If Erin didn't know she was going to be arrested why was she getting her affairs in order with a POA and child protection officer?
My first thought was that her lawyers had told her she was going to be arrested, so she needed to get her affairs in order. With perhaps her lawyers having been advised by the police - with the police asking if the lawyers wanted to bring Erin in (as opposed to her being arrested in front of her children).
I can't tell if she was arrested at her home or not. Or if she had been able to have her children not present for the arrest.
