The Russell County woman accused of the death of her daughter after allegedly driving under the influence of methamphetamine was arraigned on a murder charge Thursday morning.
Her arraignment occurred in the hours just before her daughter’s funeral. Warriner pleaded not guilty via video monitor as she stood next to her attorney.
She quickly ran to the back of the room sobbing after entering her plea.

Three-year-old Chloe Fortenberry, Warriner’s daughter, was a passenger in Warriner’s car.
