A 26-year-old woman has been charged for using drugs while pregnant under a controversial law passed earlier this month.
Mallory Loyola, 26, is the first woman to be charged with assault under a new Tennessee law that makes it a crime to take drugs while pregnant.
Deputies said they got a call from Department of Child Services after the baby girl was born Sunday at UT Medical Center and tested positive for meth. They arrested the 26-year-old as she was being discharged from the hospital, according to WATE-TV.
Loyola has a history of meth related arrests.
