"I never said I was going to flee," Ervin retorted.

Ervin's public defender asked for her release, arguing that Ervin didn't have a criminal history and had never before been arrested.

Before continuing the $25,000 bail, Blixt ordered Ervin not to discuss the case with Austin and allowed her to be screened for pre-trial supervision.

According to the affidavit, Ervin knew Austin had previously injured himself while making hash oil, and she usually left the apartment with her daughter during the process. On that particular Sunday, however, Ervin was tired and took her daughter into another room to “just chill” and watch television.

About 15 minutes after Austin allegedly started extracting the oil, Ervin told police, she heard a loud “whoosh sound” and glanced up to see the kitchen on fire.

“She then realized that both her and her child’s hair were on fire,” the affidavit stated.

The explosion blew out the windows of the apartment, leaving pieces of glass and marijuana buds on the lawn and street below. Austin, Ervin and her daughter were taken to the hospital and treated for second- and third-degree burns.
