Wagner woman sentenced to prison in toddler death case

Posted:

    LAKE ANDES, S.D. (AP) _ One of two adults arrested after a 2-year-old girl was found dead in their Wagner home has been sentenced to 22 years in prison.
 
    Local media report that 29-year-old Laurie Cournoyer was sentenced to 10 years for possession of methamphetamine, five years for keeping a place for meth and 10 years _ eight suspended _ for having drugs in jail. She was also sentenced to five years for failing to report the death of a child.
 
    Prosecutors say the 2-year-old girl's body was in a closet for nearly two days before Cournoyer and her husband, Taylor, reported her death. 
 
    Taylor Cournoyer pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine and keeping a place for use or sale of drugs as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.
