He was taken to St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan, where he was pronounced dead. Brenda Ingram was taken into custody, charged with murder and booked at the Robertson County jail with bond set at $100,000. The case was investigated by Franklin police and the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office.
