WARREN, Ohio - A Warren mother has been sentenced to six months in jail for leaving her two small children unattended outside.

Thirty-four-year-old Brittany Spitler was sentenced on two fourth-degree felony counts of child endangerment in the Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas Thursday morning.

The charges stem from an incident from late August of 2022 when police responded to a call regarding two small children running around in the street unsupervised, one of which having a full diaper.

According to police, Spitler appeared to be under the influence of a narcotic when they spoke to her about the incident and police say they knocked on her door for 45 minutes before she eventually woke up and answered it.

Police located various drug paraphernalia and pills in her home.
