(KNZA)--A Hiawatha woman convicted of impeding a 2013 Brown County child murder investigation has been sentenced on a felony charge.
Janelle Hall, also known as Janelle King, was sentenced Monday in Brown County District Court to six months in prison on a charge of interference with law enforcement. However, the sentence was suspended and she was placed on one year supervised probation.
Hall pleaded no contest to the charge in October stemming from the investigation into the beating death of 4-year-old Mekhi Boone in March 2013.
Authorities say Hall provided false information concerning the whereabouts of Janice Summerford. Summerford was the live-in girlfriend of the child’s father, Lee Davis IV.
Davis was sentenced in June 2013 to nearly 20 years in prison on charges of second-degree murder and felony child abuse.
Summerford was sentenced in September 2014 to more than 10 years in prison on charges of second-degree murder, felony child abuse and interference with a law enforcement officer.
