The mother of a 23-month-old boy thrown to his death from an H-1 Freeway overpass in January was arrested early Friday morning in Downtown Honolulu on four outstanding misdemeanor warrants totalling $3,800.

Nancy Vasa Chanco, 33, also known as Nancy Asiata and Nancy Vaasaasia Chanco, has been held at the main police station cellblock since her arrest at Bethel and Beretania streets at 4:25 a.m. She will be taken to District Court today.

Chanco listed no permanent local address at her booking.

In January, Chanco's 23-month-old son, Cyrus Belt, was killed when he was thrown from an overpass.

Matthew Higa has been charged with murder in that case.
