DUI Suspect Had Two Prior Arrests
NEWNAN, GA -- Police records show a woman charged with injuring an 11-year-old while under the influence of drugs had two prior DUI arrests, both coming in a span of 10 days.
Meanwhile, the mother of suspect Hannah Nichole Freeman says her daughter was hooked on prescription drugs.
"She was a bright, articulate, compassionate nurse," said Sheila Freeman. "Prescription drugs have destroyed her life."
The suspect's mother says Hannah Freeman lost her nursing job after a failed drug test two years ago. Sheila Freeman says despite her daughter's problems, she couldn't stop the 27-year-old from driving.
"She would fight you," said Sheila Freeman. "There was no way you could stop her from getting in the car when she was craving the drugs."
