Man Accused Of Drowning Girl At Metro Lake

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A metro man has been arrested in connection with the drowning of a 2-year-old girl Thursday at Lake Stanley Draper.

Donald Michael Reeser, 29, was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on one count of first-degree murder in the death of Allie Croom.

Police were called to Midwest City Regional Hospital at about 5:30 p.m., and investigators from the Crimes Against Children Unit also responded.

Investigators said Reeser, who is the boyfriend of the toddler's mother, was at the lake with the victim. They believe Reeser repeatedly forced the child under water until she drowned.

A fund for the girl's family has been established at Tinker Federal Credit Union.
