A mother and daughter, who married each other in March, are charged with incest and can face up to 10 years in prison if indicted. The 43-year-old mother and 25-year-old daughter had warrants out for their arrest but the mother has also been married to her eldest son in the past.

Authorities sent out felony arrest warrants issued in Stephens County District court for the mother Patricia Ann Spann and the daughter Misty Velvet Dawn Spann, after getting a tip from an Oklahoma Department of Human Services Child Welfare Division.

Patricia said she had met her biological daughter two years ago and they “hit it off” and felt that there were no legal issues with the marriage since her name was no longer on her daughter’s birth certificate.

The women said they will consider annulment while Patricia has a 2010 “incest” annulment from her son Jody Spann.

The Youngest Son Speaks Out

Patricia’s son, 24-year-old Cody Spann, says that his mother forced his older brother, and later his sister, to marry her.

Although Patricia told authorities that she reunited with her children two years ago, Cody says she reentered their lives in 2007 as a friend. After spending time with them in Texas, Patricia and Jody became close, got married, and went to their hometown in Oklahoma.

“My grandmother looked at my brother and told him that was his mom,” Cody told PEOPLE. “My brother...said that he wanted to get away from her – that was not what he wanted. And she threatened to kill him. She threatened to poison him.”

Cody said his mom tried to come on to him once but he pushed her off, telling her that it was wrong. And although Misty is an adult, she too was “manipulated, forced and threatened” to marry her mother. He said Patricia threatened to kidnap Misty if she refused.

A Duncan Police Department says that there seems to be some coercion in the incest relationships between Patricia and her children, but that both parties went to the court on their own free will.

“Why would you want to be with one of your kids?” Cody questioned his mom’s motive. “You birthed these children. God gave you a blessing of putting three kids on earth that actually belong to you and the first thing you want to do is go and mess it all up.”

Patricia’s children were taken away from her when they were really young and left to be raised by their grandparents.
