A Knoxville woman is in jail after abandoning two children while running from the police.
Police say 37 year-old Kasey Clevenger was taken into custody after leaving the children with the officers and is charged with two counts of aggravated child abuse.
It started at an apartment complex on Natchez Avenue in East Knoxville after a three-year old was reported wandering around the complex wearing only a diaper.
Police were able to track down the child’s caregiver Clevenger who appeared to be on narcotics and also found an 8-year-old in her care wandering around the neighborhood.
She left on foot after telling Police she was going to get them some clothes for the children but was later taken into custody.
