Charges are being dropped against a Hamilton County mother who was arrested in the death of her month-old son. 

Last December, Tanner Doran died of blunt force trauma to the head at a residence in Jewell.  Angela Meeker was charged with child endangerment causing death, but prosecutors asked a judge to dismiss the charges because of a lack of evidence.

The boy’s father, Michael Meeker, is facing a charge of first-degree murder in the case. No trial date has been set.
