According to a criminal complaint, Kristina Withrow claims she gave a gun to her 18-year-old son, Kristian Crespin, and told him to shoot toward a woman she was arguing with. He fired three times, with one of those bullets hitting and killing the woman.
During Crespin’s first appearance Thursday, the state filed a preventative detention motion to try and keep him behind bars until trial. The case now heads to district court. Withrow is also awaiting a pretrial detention hearing.
