Oklahoma Woman Who Married Her Mother Pleads Guilty To Incest

In Duncan, Oklahoma, a woman who was accused of marrying her mother pleaded guilty to incest this past Tuesday. Misty Spann’s (she’s 26 years old) guilty plea was in exchange for a 10-year deferred sentence and two years of supervised probation, along with going through counseling. Misty was accused of marrying her mother, Patricia Spann, 46, in 2016. Misty Spann pleaded guilty in November in exchange for probation. However, her plea was withdrawn when it was learned the type of probation she was given is not allowed under state law. Court records show the marriage was annulled in October at Misty Spann’s request on grounds of fraud and illegality. Patricia Spann has said she thought the marriage was legal because she lost custody of her daughter and two sons years ago and isn’t listed on their birth certificates. Prosecutors say Patricia Spann also married one of her sons. That marriage was annulled in 2010. Patricia Spann pleaded guilty to incest last week in exchange for a two year prison sentence. Below are their mugshots.

A Woman Tries To Get Out Of A Driving Offence By Saying She’s Homer Simpson

Last week a Police Officer in Milton Keynes stopped a female driver who handed over a drivers license that said her name was Homer Simpson, complete with his signature and address. Interestingly Homer’s licence shows that he’s able to drive buses pulling trailers and some kind of heavy goods vehicle. The driver’s car was seized and he was reported for driving with no insurance and driving without a proper licence.
