Alabama Brother, Sister Arrested for Incest Mother Turned-In Siblings After Allegedly Catching Them Having Sex
TRAFFORD, Ala. (April 20) - A brother and sister were arrested on felony incest charges after the man's wife called sheriff's deputies, who allegedly caught the siblings having sex.
Ronald Stewart Howze, 44, of Trafford, and Lori Ann Rotton, 41, of Smyrna, Ga., were arrested around midnight on April 7, said Jefferson County sheriff's spokesman Randy Christian. They remain jailed Wednesday with bond set at $50,000 each.
If convicted, Howze and Rotton could each be sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Authorities said Howze's wife believed her husband and his sister were having sex so she called deputies. The wife let the officer into their trailer home, and the deputy saw the siblings having sex in a bedroom, Christian said.
The officer had to twice tell the couple to stop, and the officer's report quoted the man as saying "I guess I'm going to jail" after they finally complied, according to Christian.
Both brother and sister had been drinking, and Rotton was initially taken to a hospital because she appeared so intoxicated, Christian said.
The man told the officer he wanted to "go out crazy" after being diagnosed with cancer, The Birmingham News reported Wednesday.
Tommy McFarland, an attorney representing Howze, said his client told him he could not remember what happened. Howze said he suffers from seizures and asked to see a psychiatrist, according to McFarland.
Rotton is set to make her first court appearance Thursday.

Not your neighborhood I hope.
They weren't really siblings..... the DNA defense will prove their inocence.
"Sex with your sister... yep, that's pretty damn crazy."
Can't wait to hear the sisters excuse.
Well wait a minute now - these people are from Alabama - how do we know that they are really brother and sister - besides Bubba Billy Clinton taught us that sex is a private matter.
What if 2 brothers were going at it - wouldn't it be their civil right?
It is, but in those states they still need to be married first. :)
The headline should read "Alabama Brother, Georgia Sister Arrested...."
I'm sure they'll get the best lawyers the ACLU can afford!
Dogs run free! Why can't we? :^0
Well, Biblical injunctions aside, is there anything in this damnable current secular philosophy that would proscribe this as an action? The left champions gay marriage, and NAMBLA and its child sex philosophy, so what's next? Brother/sister incest? Sure. Why not polygamy and polygyny? Group and line marriages? Why not animals?
Since morality is relative, and laws are man made, the old saying is definitely appropriate: With God, anything is possible; without God, anything is permissible.
Now, if this woman beats the rap, and ends up marrying the sheriff's spokesman, she'd be Lori Ann Rotton-Christian.
ROLL TIDE!
Heh.
Coming soon to a Jerry Springer one-hour special.
Kin-o-therapy perhaps?
I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison....
Hey Sis... You awake...
Vice is nice, incest is best...
I wonder if his cancer was caused from eating to many twinkies?
You left out "amnesia" and "seizures".
