A Snellville mom accused of drugging her children and keeping them out of school for a year has been arrested on fugitive charges in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Savion Piotter was arrested Thursday, more than a week after a Georgia Department of Family and Child Services worker called police and said Piotter’s four children were in “imminent danger.” The worker had attempted to visit Piotter and the children only to find that they had moved out of their Snellville apartment.

Piotter had told the DFCS worker that she was taking her children out of state, possibly to New York, a Snellville Police Department report said. The DFCS worker feared for the children’s safety because the kids had told her their mother had drugged them in the past. The types of drugs allegedly given to the children were not immediately clear.
Piotter had become increasingly “bizarre, erratic and hostile” in the days leading up to her disappearance, the DFCS worker told police.
The children are now in state custody, according to Knoxville police. Piotter faces child cruelty charges in Georgia.
