Blood test shows woman charged with DUI/felony child neglect was sober at time of arrest [View all]
After working 41 hours in three days caring for COVID patients, Katie Slayton had the day off on Sept. 22, 2021.
A single mother of a five-year-old son, the Williamson County nurse had dropped him off at daycare that evening so she could run to the mall.
A few hours later, she picked him up and prepared to pull out of the parking spot when she saw police lights directly behind her.
What would happen next would result in devastating consequences: charges of DUI and felony child neglect, separation from her son for nine weeks, and an agonizing six months of waiting for blood test results.
A test that would ultimately show she was sober the entire time.

Please read the WHOLE article before commenting! Yes this happened in Tennessee, but it could happen anywhere. This is appalling.
