An indictment from WAGA, an Atlanta Fox affiliate, says Morgan left the hair dryer on near her son while she was under the influence of drugs, causing him extreme pain. Police found a device for smoking marijuana on the back porch.
In October, nearly a year after her son’s death, Morgan was arrested for driving under the influence while out on bail. She was driving erratically and blamed it on sneezing when stopped by police.

Morgan was taken to the Coweta County Jail on January 24. As of Thursday morning, she was not listed as an inmate at the jail, and it is unclear if she has a lawyer.
