 A female inmate hanged herself in the downtown jail around 8:40 Thursday morning. Forty-four year old Karen Michelle Gow of Harriman was transported to Fort Sanders Hospital where she was pronounced dead about an hour later. The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy. Gow was booked into the jail on October 16th for violation of probation on a worthless check charge, failure to appear on theft charges, and also escape for walking out of a courtroom.

Gow’s evaluation upon entering jail did not indicate any suicidal tendencies. A corrections officer found her on regular rounds and immediately began CPR after calling for assistance. Gow used a bed sheet thrown over a towel rack to hang herself. Gow left suicide notes. Major Crimes and the Office of Professional Standards are investigating.

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office arrested three people and sent a baby to the hospital after finding a meth lab in a West Knox County garage Tuesday afternoon.

An on-going investigation led officers to a mobile home at 11325 Sam Lee Road around 3 o’clock where they found an active meth lab in a detached garage.  They arrested the three suspects who lived there: 25 year old William Tims who was renting the mobile home, his 27 year old  brother Daniel Tims and 25 year old Victoria Trentham.   Trentham’s 10 month son was taken to Children’s Hospital.  There were no signs of any outward injuries, but according to state law, children must be taken to a hospital for evaluation.  Trentham and William Tims will be facing child abuse charges.  All are charged with promotion of meth and all had outstanding warrants.  William Tims will also be charged with evading arrest.  He ran from KCSO officers a few days ago when they attempted to serve the outstanding warrants.

KCSO Officers recovered 1 gram of meth and say meth was cooked at least two days ago.  They found all the equipment and materials needed to manufacture meth in the garage including jars, ammonia nitrate, gas generators, lithium strips and batteries, tubing, coffee filters, and other items.
