A 36-year-old mother in Texas accused of abusing her husband and physically and emotionally torturing her children — even trying to put one of them in a hot oven — was arrested this week following a standoff with a SWAT team. Lul N. Top was taken into custody on Monday and charged with six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

According to a news release from the Allen Police Department, the agency’s SWAT team at about 8:53 a.m. on Feb. 12 responded to a residence located in the 1500 block of Tanglewood Drive to execute a search warrant and serve Top with the six aggravated assault warrants.

“When the SWAT team entered her residence, Top retreated into the attic and barricaded herself inside,” the release states. “Attempts to contact Top and negotiate with her were unsuccessful, and, after an hour of trying, chemical agents were deployed. At approximately 10:50 AM, Top surrendered and was taken into custody.”

A probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime provided additional details about the circumstances that led to the charges against Top.

Authorities say the investigation into Top began when police on Jan. 8, 2024, were called to the home where she and her family had been living for about a year. The call came after Top allegedly grabbed a piece of wood off a door frame in the home and used it to repeatedly strike her husband while her six children watched in horror. The attack allegedly caused visible injuries to Top’s husband.

The children were removed from the home by Child Protective Services.

Investigators looking into the alleged attack on the husband then interviewed Top’s six children, resulting in additional allegations of physical abuse against Top — the most shocking of which accused her of intentionally trying to roast her 3-year-old child in the oven.
