A Hartselle woman is in custody after being accused of attempted murder in Giles County, Tenn.

Sheriff Ana Franklin said that Campbell was wanted for attempted first-degree murder in the case.
Giles County (Tenn.) Sheriff’s investigators contacted Morgan County on Wed., Aug. 27, asking for help in locating the suspect.

After meeting in Decatur, Morgan County investigators accompanied Giles County investigators to the Hartselle address, where the suspect was arrested.
