Bridget Dietrich is behind bars on charges of child endangerment in connection to a fire that burned her 10 year-old daughter.
The fire happened in March in Southeast Wichita. Investigators won't give specifics on the arrest of Dietrich. They say it is in connection with the fire. The arrest documents show Dietrich failed to protect the girl from abuse at the hands of the suspect.
Last week Dietrich's husband, Chris Newberry pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder and rape of the little girl. He admitted to pouring lighter fluid on the girl and then setting her on fire.
She did survive the fire, but has severe burns.
Dietrich's five children are now with family. The little girl who was burned lives with her grandmother.
