NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A
Clarksville mother accused of berating Transportation Security Administration
officers trying to pat down her teenage daughter at the Nashville airport told
jurors Monday that the accusations are false.
Closing arguments were
set for Tuesday.
Andrea
Abbott is charged with disorderly conduct in the July 2011
confrontation.
Transportation Security Officer Karen King testified Monday that before the pat-down, Abbott yelled in her
face that she didn't want anyone "touching her daughter's crotch."
Abbott
eventually allowed her then-14-year-old daughter to undergo the pat-down, but
then she refused a pat-down for herself and was arrested.
Abbott
acknowledged Monday that she did say a few curse words but said
she wasn't in King's face and had a "normal conversation" about what she
believed to be inappropriate about the pat-downs.

Audit finds $51K missing at Hamblen animal shelter
May 22, 2013 19:59 GMT
MORRISTOWN, Tenn. (AP) -- An audit by the state comptroller's office has found that more than $51,000 in animal adoption fees and donations for the Morristown-Hamblen Humane Society was not deposited into the facility's bank account.
According to the audit, an investigation was requested by the Hamblen County mayor after a humane society employee discovered altered receipts.
The audit says a former employee who was questioned by management admitted to backdating one receipt to "borrow" $120. The employee returned the $120 and was terminated. The employee refused to meet with auditors.
Morristown-Hamblen Humane Society Board Chair Gean Ann Sing said in a response to auditors that the humane society now utilizes more than one employee for handling deposits. The board also has agreed to obtain yearly audits.
