IRON MOUNTAIN, MI-- An Ishpeming woman has been sentenced for smothering her two-month-old son.
Nicole Christensen, 37, was accused of asphyxiating her baby by falling asleep next to him after a bout of drinking. He was found lying on an infant bouncer seat, unresponsive, in August of 2015. She was charged with involuntary manslaughter and second-degree child abuse in Dickinson County Court.
Christensen was sentenced Wednesday on the manslaughter charge to two years in prison with credit for 231 days already served.
