TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - A Lucas County judge issued suspended sentences to the mother and grandmother convicted in connection with the death of Braylen Noble.

The grandmother, Bobbie Johnson, was charged with obstruction of justice and pled guilty. She received a suspended sentence of 180 days in jail.

Braylen’s mother, Dajnae Cox, entered al Alford plea for child endangerment and obstruction of justice in the September 2020 death of the three-year-old boy.

After her mother was sentenced, Cox received probation as well, as the judge handed down a two-year suspended sentence.

The child’s mysterious disappearance drew large amounts of attention over a five-day period, with his body finally being found in an apartment complex pool, which police said had been searched on the day he was reported missing.

It would take more than a year before Cox and Johnson were indicted in Braylen’s death. They both entered their respective pleas at trial in September.
