MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - A Mid-South woman who was injured after a teen attacked her with a rock says Memphis police may file charges against her.

Charlotte Gathings suffered serious injury after a fight involving her daughter.  But now, she may face trouble of a different kind.

"The investigator said that they were thinking about filing charges against me for simple assault and starting a riot," she said.

Gathings claims she was only trying to break up a fight the day she picked her daughter up from Raleigh Egypt High.  That's where another teen was trying to fight her daughter.  Gathings broke up the altercation with help from her son.

Almost half a million tax returns have been filed with the IRS from home computers so far this year in Tennessee, an increase of 9 percent compared to the number of returns from the same time last year.

Nationwide, the number of returns filed from home computers is up almost six percent over last year at this time.

IRS reminds taxpayers that everyone can use Free File to prepare and e-file their tax returns for free, either by using brand name software or Free File Fillable Forms, which is the electronic version of IRS paper forms.

From the blooming trees and sprouting flowers, its apparent spring is upon us in the Mid-South.
