A Pavillion woman accused of causing the death of her infant son has accepted a plea deal and may avoid jail time. Candace Lea Wagner has agreed to plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of criminally negligent homicide in connection with the Nov. 11 death of 2-month-old Clancy Lee Wagner. In exchange, felony child abuse and manslaughter charges would be dismissed. The deal filed June 15 calls for a suspended sentence and one year of probation. Police say Wagner went to a bar the night before the 2-month-old boy died and nursed him before they both went to sleep in her bed. Her son wasn't breathing in the morning, and the cause of death was later ruled asphyxia.
