    A babysitter in Louisiana is facing charges in connection with the drowning death of a 3-year-old boy.

    According to the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, Joann Johnson, 37, has been booked into jail on one count of negligent homicide.

    Authorities said Johnson’s arrest stems from a 911 call May 18 about a child drowning at a home.

    Deputies and medical responders attempted lifesaving measures at the house before the boy was taken to Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital. He did not survive.
