Allen mother tortured children with knives, tried to put 3-year-old in oven

ALLEN, Texas – An Allen woman arrested after a SWAT standoff was wanted for allegedly abusing her children, according to an arrest affidavit acquired by FOX 4.

Lul Top, 36, was arrested Monday morning at a home on Tanglewood Drive.

Police say Top barricaded herself inside the attic of the home while law enforcement tried to serve a warrant. She was arrested after two hours. An arrest affidavit details the charges against her.

Cell phone video from a neighbor shows Top with her hands behind her back.

RAW: Allen SWAT standoff

Neighbors took video of a SWAT standoff and arrest at a home in Allen on Monday. Lul Top was eventually arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

On Jan. 8, Allen police were called to Top’s home after she allegedly beat her husband with a stick in front of her six children, court documents say.

Child Protective Services removed the children from the home following the incident.

A 3-year-old child told interviewers at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County that Top had tried to put her inside an oven that the child said was hot. A 10-year-old child told the investigator he had to physically fight his mother to get the 3-year-old away from the heated oven and took the child upstairs to hide her. A 4-year-old child said they saw the incident, according to the affidavit.

The 6, 9 and 10-year-old told investigators Top drinks a lot of alcohol and would tell the kids to find her more if she ran out.

The documents say the investigator noticed both the 3-year-old and 4-year-old had scars “resembling knife cuts” and that both children said their mother used a knife to cut them.
