The Daily News Journal reports Anna Yocca, of Murfreesboro, about 33 miles southeast of Nashville, was arrested on Wednesday. She is jailed on a $200,000 bond.
According to a Murfreesboro Police Department report, in September
Yocca, 31, filled a bathtub with water and attempted to self-abort with a
coat hanger. She began bleeding and became worried about her safety.
Her boyfriend took her to the hospital where doctors delivered a
24-week-old baby weighing just 1.5 pounds. Doctors told investigators
the child will need medical support for the rest of his life because of
the injuries he sustained.
Yocca is due in court Dec. 21. Jail officials did not know whether she has an attorney.
