Charges have been dropped against a Chattanooga woman who was arrested last month after Facebook video surfaced showing her smoking while holding her infant.
Tybresha Sexton, 24, faced charges of aggravated child abuse, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct after her Sept. 29 arrest.
The charges were dropped Tuesday at the request of the Hamilton County District Attorney’s Office, according to court records.
Earlier this month, social media video showed Sexton smoking while holding the 1-month-old baby in the air with one hand. She’s also seen shaking the baby.
A Chattanooga police report says authorities went to the home after several complaints, according to the Associated Press. It says the responding officer could smell a “heavy odor” of alcohol on her breath and saw several empty liquor bottles lying around.
On Tuesday, District Attorney Neil Pinkston said that after review of the video, it was determined no criminal offense had been committed, according to news partner WRCB-TV Channel 3.
