Two Charged After 3-Year-Old Drowns In Darlington Co. Creek

Christian James and Nashanti McCullough have since been charged with homicide by child abuse.

Two people have been charged in connection to the death of a 3-year-old.

Darlington County police were called to Badger Road on Monday for reports of a missing girl who “wandered off.”

After searching for around 2 1/2 hours, the girl was found dead in a nearby creek.

Christian James and Nashanti McCullough have since been charged with homicide by child abuse.

The pair were the girl’s caretakers and were responsible for her at the time she was reported missing.

An arrest warrant shows both were charged after the girl was left unattended without proper supervision.

James and McCullough are each detained at the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.
