Russell Co. mother sentenced in death of her child

RUSSELL COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – A Russell County woman who was behind the wheel in a crash that killed her young daughter was sentenced on Thursday.

Prosecutors say Jessica Warriner was under the influence of drugs when she pulled into the path of an oncoming truck in September 2016.

Her three-year-old daughter Chloe was killed in the crash.

Warriner was originally charged with murder but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter.

She was sentenced Thursday in Russell County to 10 years in prison.
