Teen jailed with TB released

A Mexican teenager who was jailed in Gwinnett County after refusing treatment for tuberculosis has been released. 17-year-old Francisco Santos is now recuperating at his home in Duluth after more than a month in jail. He faces deportation along with his mother. Health officials say Santos passed three TB tests and so could be released from jail.
