Florida authorities said Tuesday that two girls—12 and 14—were arrested on charges of felony aggravated stalking for allegedly bullying a 12-year-old girl who jumped to her death last month from an abandoned cement factory tower.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who planned to elaborate on the charges at a news conference Tuesday, told reporters earlier that bullying of Rebecca Sedwick began over a boyfriend.
