Shelton charged
Cocke County authorities have filed charges against a Bybee community woman who allegedly burned a child with a cigerette over the weekend. Shannon Shelton, 21, Potts Way, is charged with child abuse and child neglect involving a three year-old boy at her residence. Deputy Logan Starritt said he was contacted by Harley Hembree, Scarlet Road, who reported that her nephew had been burned with a cigarette. The child told investigators he had been burned on the chest by an individual who he identified only as "Shannon". The boy told officers that Shannon had burned him because "she was being mean to him," Starritt reported. Officers said said they observed what appeared to be three burn marks the size of a cigarette on the child's chest.. Although the child's mother reportedly said the incident "wasn't that big of a deal", Detective C.J. Ball and the Department of Children's Services were called into the probe, leading to the charges. The defendant has been released on a $10,000 bond.
