ADEL, Iowa (AP) — The mother of twin toddlers spotted wandering naked near a busy central Iowa highway has been given two years of probation. Dallas County District Court records say 19-year-old Jasmine Teed was sentenced Thursday to four years in prison, but the term was suspended. She also was told to perform 80 hours of community service. Teed had pleaded guilty to child endangerment.

Officers were sent to a house along U.S. Highway 6 in Adel on Nov. 2. Police say witnesses reported seeing someone herd the unclothed 2-year-olds back in the house after they were spotted near the highway. An officer entered the house and called out but received no answer. The officer reported finding Teed asleep in a bedroom. Police say the outdoor temperature at the time was 43 degrees.
