OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - A north Mississippi woman has been charged with negligent homicide in the death of her infant son.

Local news outlets report 31-year-old Stephanie Henry was arrested after police officers were called before dawn Sunday regarding an unresponsive infant.

Officers tried to resuscitate the boy, who was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.



Investigators later arrested Henry. The child’s cause of death has not been released.

A judge set Henry’s bail at $250,000 on Monday. It’s unclear if she has a lawyer to speak for her.
