The mother wanted in connection with the death of her 2-year-old son in Evergreen in February 2015 has been arrested.

Takara Juntunen, 23, was booked into the Flathead County Detention Center on Thursday afternoon and is being held on $100,000 bail.

Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry said Juntunen was found at a residence in Evergreen and went with officers without much fuss. The Sheriff’s Office launched a social media campaign on Wednesday in an effort to find Juntunen.

It is unknown whether anyone might be charged with harboring Juntunen as a fugitive.

“We’re looking into that, but for now it’s just her,” Curry said.

Juntunen has been charged with felony negligent homicide and criminal possession of dangerous drugs after authorities say she did not take 2-year-old Forrest Groshelle to the doctor for days despite the fact that he allegedly had been running a fever and vomiting. She allegedly told investigators that she had been using meth daily in the days leading up to Forrest’s death.

A medical examiner determined the child died of a blow to the abdomen.

Juntunen’s boyfriend, Brandon Lee Walter Newberry, 22, was sentenced last month to 40 years in prison for mitigated deliberate homicide for killing Forrest.

Prosecutor Andrew Clegg alleges in charging documents that Juntunen negligently caused her child’s death “by placing the child in the physical care of Brandon Newberry, who she knew, or should have known, was causing injury to the child, knowing Newberry was using methamphetamine on a daily basis and failing to remove the child from the situation and failing to seek medical care for the child.”

Juntunen is set to be arraigned on June 16 before Flathead District Judge Heidi Ulbricht, who also sentenced Newberry.
