The incident occurred about 7:35 p.m. Friday. The investigation yielded evidence that Pagan intended to give her daughter a bath but left her in the tub alone for what was deemed an unreasonable amount of time while the water continued to run, eventually causing the baby to drown. The father of the child found the baby.

Pagan was arraigned in Marlborough Town Court and remanded to Ulster County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash or $200,000 bond. Pagan is scheduled to return to court at 4 p.m. Tuesday
