An Oklahoma woman is facing charges after police say she fell asleep on her 2-month-old son last year while intoxicated.

According to the Oklahoma City Police Department, 33-year-old Brennan Spencer was arrested last week on a second-degree murder charge, in connection with the 2024 death of her infant son.

In November 2024, Spencer allegedly fell asleep on a couch with her twin infants, according to a Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office arrest affidavit. Spencer allegedly woke up a few hours later with one of the infants, identified as Rory Kelson, dead at her feet and the other infant asleep in her arms.

First responders arrived at a home near May Avenue and Southwest 89th Street in Oklahoma City, and found the infant unresponsive. Court documents revealed that Spencer, along with the boy’s father, James Kelson, consumed “a 12-pack of White Claw alcoholic seltzers” before she fell asleep with the twins, People magazine reports.

Kelson told police that the babies had been “laid in the bassinets at the foot of their bed,” before he went to sleep, at a little before 1 a.m. He said he woke up at around 6:45 a.m. and noticed the infants were not in their bassinets.

Kelson said he then went to the living room and found Spencer on the couch with the twins.

When police interviewed Spencer, she admitted that she went to the store at around 1 a.m. and bought four more “tall boy” White Claws 19-ounce cans. Security footage showed her leaving a 7-Eleven store at around 1:30 a.m.

Oklahoma’s News 4 reports that investigators said that Spencer admitted that she was “probably really drunk… drunk enough to just need to pass out.”

Spencer claimed she passed out on the couch and didn’t remember anything that followed on the night in question. In the medical examiner’s report, the medical examiner wrote he “felt the child was a victim of neglect,” and Spencer’s “awareness levels were altered” because of the alcohol.

A medical examiner’s report indicated that Rory died from”asphyxia due to an unsafe sleep environment.”

Spencer remains behind bars on a $500,000 bond. Her next court date is scheduled for August 5.
