Mother Charged In Child's Death

Johnson County Graphic: "A formal charge of felony manslaughter was filed in Johnson County Circuit Court against Rebecca A. Montgomery in the Sept. 30, 2005, death of her two-year-old daughter Britny.

The affidavit states that Britny Montgomery was found unresponsive around 7:55 a.m. in her grandparents' home located on Highway 164 in Coal Hill where she was visiting her mother. First responders arrived on the scene followed by Johnson County Sheriff's Deputy Chad Morrow and the emergency medical services of Johnson Regional Medical Center (JRMC)."

Fort Smith Times Record: "A Johnson County woman suspected of fatally drugging her 2-year-old daughter is scheduled to be arraigned July 14 in Johnson County Circuit Court on a felony charge of manslaughter.

Rebecca Montgomery was booked Wednesday into the Johnson County Detention Center on the charge, which was filed in connection with the Sept. 30 death of her daughter, Britny Montgomery, at a Coal Hill residence.

Fifth District Prosecuting Attorney David Gibbons said emergency personnel were dispatched to the residence in response to a call from a family member. They found Britny Montgomery lying dead in a bed, he said."

  1. Just wanted to tell you I thought you had an interesting blog :-) I'll come back and read more for sure. As a side not, I bet you'd be happier in Memphis than Chicago (I lived in Nashville for years and am currently in St. Louis - the South is MUCH better, trust me...)
