An Arkansas mother and her adult son are facing felony incest charges after being discovered by two family members on the same day in 2024.
Crystal Lynn Fallis, 45, and her adult son, Austin Dennis Lee Casey, 27, are facing incest charges in Arkansas following an incident that came to light in the most jarring way possible: not once, but twice, on the same afternoon.
Court documents say the pair, along with Casey’s brother, had spent part of July 4, 2024 drinking together at a home in Bono, a small town in Craighead County.
At some point, the brother fell asleep and when he woke up, he found his mother and Casey together. Rather than confront the situation directly, he left the house and went to a neighbor’s home to call police.
While he was gone, Fallis’ husband arrived home from work, unaware of what had just unfolded. After showering, he too witnessed the same scene his stepson had walked in on.
A bodycam video of the fallout has gone viral several times. It was first released in 2025 and been re-edited and reshared on TikTok several times. The video shows police arriving at the home and Fallis’ husbands disturbed and distraught reaction.
Arrests and charges for Fallis and Casey
Casey left the property before officers showed up and was tracked down and arrested shortly after. Fallis was taken into custody at the home. Both were held at the craighead County Detention Center and held on $35,000 bonds. They were also placed under a no-contact order.
A judge found probable cause the following day to formally charge both with incest, a Class C felony under Arkansas law. The relationship was considered consensual between the two adults, so no additional charges related to assault were filed.
What could happen next
Under Arkansas law, a Class C felony conviction carries a possible sentence of three to ten years behind bars, along with a fine of up to $10,000.
A court hearing had been scheduled for late August 2024, but there has been no widely reported update on how the case has since progressed.
