WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The babysitter of a Wichita child whose body was found in a field last year has pleaded guilty to interfering with a police investigation.

The Wichita Eagle (https://bit.ly/2pW7PrA ) reports that 26-year-old Tyerria Miles pleaded guilty Monday to interfering with the investigation of the May 2016 death of 2-year-old Jhornee Bland.

Miles had been caring for Jhornee in the days before her death and had initially told the police she had left the child with a friend. She later admitted that she moved Jhornee’s body to a field after her death.



The coroner wasn’t able to determine the cause of death.

Court records show that Miles is scheduled for sentencing on June 28.
