CINCINNATI -- Police arrested a 25-year-old woman on felony charges after her two daughters were found wandering alone in East Price Hill, according to Cincinnati police.

Mariah Sullivan, of Westwood, was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center on Saturday morning. She faces two counts of child endangering, a fourth-degree felony.
