A Dugger women will face a jury trial in Sullivan County court during February after police say she suffocated her infant son.

April Monroe, 25, was arrested for reckless homicide in April after a grand jury returned an indictment in connection with the death of her three-month-old son, Bradley M. Wilson, that occurred on Nov. 15, 2007.

On Tuesday, Monroe appeared before Sullivan County Magistrate Judge Ann Smith Mischler. The magistrate threw out a negotiated plea deal between the state of Indiana and Monroe that had been submitted in September.

She remains free on $15,000 bond.

Under the terms of the plea deal, Monroe was offered by the prosecution to serve two years in-home detention and two years probation in exchange or her guilty plea, according to court records.

She was originally charged with reckless homicide -- a class C felony. A person convicted of a Class C felony can be imprisoned 2-8 years and fined up to $10,000.

Preliminary results of the Indiana State Police investigation revealed the mother was asleep in a living room chair with her infant son and awoke at approximately 7:30 a.m. to find him unresponsive. She then placed a 911 call to the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office for help. Sullivan County Sheriff's deputies and the Sullivan County Ambulance Service were dispatched to the residence. The infant was pronounced dead at the scene, according to ISP spokesman Sgt. Joe Watts.

The sheriff's office then requested Indiana State Police detectives from the Terre Haute post to conduct the investigation. The investigation also found that the mother had consumed alcohol prior to falling asleep. The parents and three siblings were home at the time of the incident.

An autopsy conducted by pathologist Dr. Roland Kohr at Terre Haute Regional Hospital determined the cause of death as consistent with asphyxia due to co-sleeping, Watts said.
