A Knox County mother is behind bars after investigators say her 6-year-old daughter brought marijuana to school.
“The child said she had medicine in her backpack for headaches, apparently it made her momma feel good before,” said Knox County Sheriff Mike Smith.
26-year-old Ashley Edwards’ daughter told her teacher that she had “medicine” with her. That’s when her teachers found out that what the little girl thought was medicine was actually marijuana.

“”Well the problems of society ya know, our schools, our churches and our families are not immune from the problems plaguing society in general,” said Frank Shelton with the Knox County Public Schools.
Edwards has been charged with endangering the welfare of a minor, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.
Officials say her daughter was released to a family member by the department of social services.
