Warren pleads Not Guilty

Warren pleads Not Guilty

6 years, 9 months ago by Scott Hardy

Charged in connection with son Audrick's death June 13

A former Quincy woman has pleaded Not Guilty to a felony charge in connection with her young son's death earlier this month.

Aushena Warren entered that plea Monday at her arraignment in Platte County, Missouri court to one count of Felony Abandonment of a Corpse. Warren was arrested Thursday, after her 8 year old son Audrick was found dead in the family's bathtub on June 13th. About an hour before that, Kansas City police say that Aushena jumped from the Christopher "Kit" Bond Bridge into the Missouri River, and was rescued. According to Kansas City television station KCTV, authorities say in their probable cause statement that Warren made no 911 call and didn't try to contact law enforcement or medical personnel about her son's drowning. They add that she was worried about the family's finances, and feared her children would be taken away.

Warren's in the Platte County Jail on $25,000 bond. She'll be back in court Tuesday.
