DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A jury has acquitted an anti-violence activist who had been charged with child endangerment.

The Des Moines Register reports that 46-year-old Calvetta Williams was found not guilty Friday by a Polk County District Court jury.

Williams was charged with child endangerment causing injury for an incident investigators say happened at Williams’ day care in July 2017 in which a girl received superficial injuries.

Williams voluntarily surrendered her child care provider license that same month.

Williams founded Mothers Against Violence in 2013 after the shooting death of a close friend in Des Moines.
