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.

My first thoughts too. Watch the ACLU come in, backed by the "it's just about sex" crowd, get a sympathetic judge, and set a precedent for legal incest nationwide.

The police eventually had to turn a water hose on the coupling couple to break them apart.

Har! What a name, huh?

But it still doesn't top one of the oddest ones I ever saw:

Retchell Crudup.

It was in the military announcements in my local paper some years back. Poor fella.

The sister was later asked "Howze?" and she replied "Rotton".

Isn't this covered under Title 7 of the 1964 Civil Rights act?

Nope, Genesis.

You left out "amnesia" and "seizures".

Holy crap, that's right! That cements it: this is the best news story of all time.

Of coruse it is not WV. All three of these folks are from Kentucky. I am sure if offspring results, Uncle Dad or Auntie Mom will take full advantage of the child's gender.

If the sister were only a stripper . . . you'd never need to read the newspaper again.

They should both get a stiff sentence and do hard time!

Rotton made a court appearance on Thursday, and she appeared to not understand the charges leveled against her. "Let me explain it to you," Judge Cahill told the woman. "You're charged with having sex with your brother. That's what you're charged with in the vernacular." The lawyer for Howze said he suffers from seizures and does not remember what happened.
