RED OAK, Iowa (AP) — A Red Oak woman out of prison for three days is back in jail after a fight with her husband over the weekend.

Karli Jo Brown

KETV Television reports 20-year-old Karli Jo Brown was released after serving eight months of two 10-year sentences for motor vehicle homicide. Two boys aged four and five were killed and their mother, Nina McNeese, injured in November 2010. Investigators say a head-on collision occurred as Brown was speeding south of Red Oak, texting, and passing cars in a no-passing zone.

Last week, Judge James Heckerman suspended Brown’s sentence and ordered supervised probation. Brown and her husband were arrested on suspicion of domestic abuse over the weekend. A probation revocation hearing is July 30. The judge could reinstate Brown’s original prison sentence.
