Pavillion Woman Faces Charges In Death of Infant Son

A Pavillion woman is facing charges in the death of her infant son in November. Candace Lea Wagner is charged with child abuse, manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of 2-month-old Clancy Lee Wagner on Nov. 11. Detective Eric Granlund of the Fremont County sheriff's office testified last week that Wagner had gone to a bar the night before Clancy died. He says when she got home, she nursed him before they both went to sleep in her bed. Her son wasn't breathing in the morning. Granlund said the cause of death was asphyxia "by overlay or too many blankets." Wagner's attorney, Dan Caldwell, says there's no evidence Clancy died because of Wagner's actions . Wagner is free on a $5,000 cash bond.
