15-Year-Old Boy Drowns in Town of Dover

The death of a 15-year-old boy whose body was pulled from a pond in Racine County yesterday morning remains under investigation. But---right now---the death of Austin Sanders---a sophomore at Union Grove High School---is NOT considered suspicious according to Sheriff Christopher Schmaling. Deputies were called to the area in the Town of Dover---south of Highway 75---by the boy's father just after 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The pond is about 200 yards from the Sanders home. The boy's mother---Pauline sanders---was arrested at the scene on bail jumping and drug charges. On-line court records also show that she is due in court next week on a child abuse charge.
