OKLAHOMA CITY
(AP) - A 50-year-old Oklahoma woman has been charged in her 5-year-old
grandson’s death last year while left in a hot car for hours while she was
in a tribal casino.
Officials say Alanna Jean Orr of Oklahoma City was
arrested Friday following her indictment by a federal grand jury for
second-degree felony murder by child neglect in Indian Country.
Court records state Orr was caring
for her grandson on June 21 when she went to the Kickapoo Casino in Harrah,
about 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Oklahoma City. Authorities say
surveillance video shows Orr leaving the casino six hours after arriving and
having allegedly left her grandson in the car with temperatures reaching 90
degrees.
Records don’t indicate whether Orr is represented by
an attorney.
