Darlington Woman Charged With Homicide by Child Abuse

A Darlington woman has been arrested and charged with homicide by child abuse. 27-year-old Alanta Feagin reportedly gave birth to a stillborn child in October of 2019. However, investigators were able to determine Feagin intentionally ingested drugs such as cocaine, methadone and more while 40 weeks pregnant which led to the victim’s death. The arrest warrant claimed her actions showed “an extreme indifference to the human life and safety of her child.” Feagin remains in custody at the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center after she was denied bond.
