A mother and daughter from Duncan, Oklahoma, were arrested after being accused of having an incestuous marriage.

Patricia Spann told officials she didn't think she was breaking any laws by marrying Misty because her name is no longer listed on her daughter's birth certificate.

Court records show this isn't the first time Patricia has married one of her own children: she also wed a son in 2008. [source]
