An Ottawa woman who took her 4-year-old son to Mexico without authorization has pleaded no contest to one count of aggravated interference with parental custody.  Trina Tinsley made the plea during a hearing yesterday in Franklin County District Court.  The charge could carry a prison sentence ranging from 11 months up to 34 months and carries a maximum fine of 500 thousand dollars.  Sentencing was set for January 14th at 4:15.  During the hearing, attorneys did comment that in Tinsley’s case, the penalty could also be presumptive probation.  A pre-sentence evaluation will be done prior to sentencing.
