Ruth Miller was arraigned for a murder charge after allegedly drowning her son in Atwood Lake last month.

During Monday’s arraignment, prosecutors requested that Miller be denied bail and a no-contact order between her and the victims.

Miller was arrested on Aug. 23 after driving herself and her other three children into the lake. After the body of her 4-year-old was found, she was charged with murder, felonious assault, child endangering and domestic violence.
