She was also charged with going to the home where the boys were having a sleepover and threatened to slit the throats of everyone in the house, while shouting racial slurs.
The Springfield News-Leader reported the plea deal recommends a 10-year prison sentence but a judge will decide May 15 whether Crossland will be eligible for the lesser sentence.
