Clarksville Police are looking for a suspect in the robbery of Bank of America on Madison Street this afternoon. Police say it happened around 2:32pm. Officers say a man 6'-6'5", 200-250lbs., with slight chin hair, in a black zip-up hoodie, black stocking-type cap and mirrored sunglasses, walked into the bank and approached the counter. We're told he presented a note demanding money, and made a movement like he had a handgun, but did not actually display one. Police say he was given the money, and left out of the bank traveling North. If anyone has information, they're asked to call the tip line at 931.648.8577.

Pediatrician says DCS challenges medical opinions
May 20, 2013 19:33 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Spring Hill pediatrician says she has some sympathy as the Tennessee Department of Children's Services tries to sort through claims about children's welfare.
Dr. Shontae Buffington serves as the fellow-at-large representing Middle Tennessee for the Tennessee chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
But Buffington also told The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/10PY0YX ) she is irritated that DCS caseworkers without apparent medical expertise sometimes challenged her medical opinions. Buffington said it isn't unusual for a pediatrician to see two or three cases that could be medical maltreatment in a year's time.
The newspaper cited a case in which the department said medical professionals' belief that an East Tennessee infant with heart problems wasn't being properly cared for were unfounded. Six days later, the baby died.
