Olney woman arrested in child death at RV park

A 27-year-old Olney woman was arrested on a charge of criminally negligent homicide in the death of her eight-monthold child in a local recreational vehicle park in March. Olney police were called to 104 E. Springcreek Rd. on March 29 to assist with an unresponsive child, according to a press release by the Texas Department of Public Safety and OPD.

OPD Chief Dan Birbeck and Detective Dustin Hudson “were suspicious of the circumstances and called the Texas Rangers to assist,” the release said. A Young County Grand Jury reviewed the case and returned an indictment against Jasmin Alexis Kay Smith for criminally negligent homicide on Nov. 20, the statement said.

Ms. Smith was arrested in Jack County two days later, the statement said.
