OREGON, Ohio — The arraignment for a woman charged with child endangerment following a fatal Lake Erie boating incident has been continued to Tuesday morning after she posted bond. The charge was upgraded to a felony, and the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office said Monday afternoon that charges and a warrant are in the process of being filed.

Kristen Gerrie, 41, was scheduled to appear in Oregon Municipal Court on Monday afternoon. However, she posted a $50,000 surety bond, and her case was continued to Tuesday at 9 a.m.
Gerrie faces a count of child endangerment following an incident that began Wednesday when she, 38-year-old Jonathan Ciha, and 11-year-old Angelique Cunningham went out on a boat.
Ciha’s body was recovered Thursday morning in the water near Meinke Marina in Jerusalem Township, while Gerrie was able to swim ashore.
