Emily Gail Crum, 21, of Murfreesboro, was charged with aggravated child abuse after her 2-pound, 13-ounce baby was found to have illegal drugs in her body after she was born seven weeks prematurely in July, according to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office.

Storms from Okla. weakening as they move to Tenn.
May 21, 2013 15:32 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The storm system that brought devastation to central Oklahoma is expected to weaken before moving into Tennessee.
The National Weather Service included the western half of Tennessee in an area that has a slight risk of severe thunderstorms through Wednesday morning.
Meteorologist Brittney Coleman with the NWS office in Nashville said high wind and hail are the major threats with the storm system. The probability of severe storms is most likely from the Mississippi River to Interstate 65.
NWS forecaster John Sirmon in the Memphis office said rain falling Tuesday morning in West Tennessee will help ensure the approaching heavier line of thunderstorms doesn't run into unstable air. The line is expected to move across the Mississippi River between 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday.
