(WMC-TV) – A Mid-South mom busted for smoking allegedly smoking marijuana with her 10-month-old child in the car is fuming that news of her arrest has gone nationwide.

Tipton County Deputies say they smelled marijuana in Stacy Garlock's car when she was stopped at a safety checkpoint recently.

Deputies even say Garlock admitted to smoking pot with her baby in the car.

Our news partners at The Leader spoke to Garlock Tuesday, here's some of what she told them:

"It's a lot better than drinking and driving or taking pills and driving. No one ever died from smoking weed!"

"My whole entire family is embarrassed. Everyone's in my business now; I don't need people judging what I do! I don't understand why this was even released because I know people who've done way worse."

There is a new system of drug trafficking in Tennessee, and it is being carried out right in front of our eyes at convenience stores across the state. Those who are breaking the law are doing so knowingly, and I am writing today to alert you to this dangerous trend: synthetic drugs.

Synthetic drugs are illegal, and they are dangerous. Often sold in stores, some purchasers may not know that these drugs are illegal and dangerous. Across Tennessee, children and adults are having bad reactions to the changing chemicals used in these drugs.

On May 4th, 2012 at about 12:30 am Tipton County Sheriff’s Office deputies were summoned to the 100 block of Robin Hood Circle in Millington, Tipton County, TN regarding an infant being removed by force from the residence. Deputies spoke to James Pemperton, grandfather of the child who reported that Jonathan Owen Fowlkes, 27, father of the 1 year old child, forcibly removed him from the residence. According to witnesses, Fowlkes forcibly entered the residence and a domestic argument and disturbance erupted. Fowlkes reportedly went to the bedroom where the infant was sleeping and removed the child from the bed in a reckless manner, attempted to assault Mr. Pemperton and fled from the residence in an awaiting vehicle.
