KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An East Tennessee woman has been charged with murder in the overdose death of her infant daughter.

Media report 31-year-old Heather Renee Keylon of Oak Ridge was arrested Saturday and booked in the Knox County Jail on a $1 million bond. According to a grand jury indictment on March 8, Keylon is also charged with abuse and neglect in the April 2015 death of Skylar Brewer.

An autopsy report determined the cause of death was an overdose, but it did not list a manner of death.

A toxicology report said the child had Suboxone, a drug used to treat opiate addiction, in her bloodstream when she died.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Keylon has an attorney.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — J. Cole, Tool and Stevie Nicks will headline this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which is set to return after a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic and weather. 

The lineup for the June 16-19 festival in Manchester, Tennessee, was released Tuesday and also includes The Chicks, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, 21 Savage, Machine Gun Kelly, Roddy Ricch, Flume and Illenium. 

Last year's festival was set to go on with extra COVID-19 precautions in place for fans, but heavy rains from Hurricane Ida left the grounds unsafe for driving or camping. The festival takes place on a former farm in rural Tennessee about an hour southeast of Nashville. Tickets go on sale Thursday. 

The 2020 festival was postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic.

Other artists on the lineup include Bleachers, Lord Huron, Disclosure, The War on Drugs, Billy Strings, Porter Robinson, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Herbie Hancock.
