A woman from Oklahoma who married her biological mother has pleaded guilty to incest.

Court records indicate that 26-year-old Misty Spann of Duncan pleaded guilty in Stephens County District Court. Under this deal, she was sentenced to 10 years of probation.

Her mother, 44-year-old Patricia Spann, has pleaded not guilty to incest.

Prosecutors say that the two married in 2016.

Court records display the marriage was annulled last month at the request of Misty Spann on the grounds of fraud and illegality.

Patricia Spann said that she thought the marriage was legal because she had lost custody of her daughter and two sons years ago and isn’t listed on their birth certificates.

Prosecutors said that Patricia Spann also married one of her sons. That marriage was reportedly annulled in 2010.

Tragic News: Toddler Dies After Chasing Toy Truck That Toppled From An Arizona Cliff

Authorities say that an Omaha toddler, who fell nearly 60 feet to his death during a family trip to Arizona in September, was chasing a toy truck when it rolled over the edge of a cliff. The toddler reportedly followed the truck past a safety rail.

The incident occurred on September 2 at Midgely Bridge, which is a popular destination for visitors.

The child landed on a ledge below and emergency medical personnel said the child died at the scene.

The death has been ruled accidental and was investigated by the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office and Sedona Police Department.

A police investigator spoke with the child’s father, Rajashekar Katpally, and mother, Sangeetha Citore as part of the investigation.

The parents reportedly said they had been in a rocky area below the Midlley Bridge parking lot, where their 2-year-old had been playing with the toy truck.

The toy then went over the cliff and the child fell while in pursuit.

Katpally said that the family had arrived in Arizona the night before and were on their way to the Grand Canyon when they pulled off at the Midgely Bridge.

They were taking pictures while the child was playing with the toy.

The Sheriff’s Department had received a report from the Medical Examiner on October 2nd documenting the cause of death as “blunt force injuries of the head and neck.” The ME report describes “the manner of death as an accident.”
