Charged for forced smoke

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) - May 14, 2010 An East Tennessee woman is facing charges of forcing her 5-year-old son to smoke a cigarette.

Jordon Paige Hensley was arrested Tuesday night on charges of child abuse and neglect, disorderly conduct - and possession of marijuana.

A deputy says after getting a complaint from a witness, he stopped Hensley in a car.

She says she told the deputy she had forced her son to smoke a cigarette because she was "teaching him not to smoke." The deputy also found a small bag of pot in the car.
