Sheriff’s office investigating case of dead unborn children

The Banks County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the deaths of two unborn children at a home and also looking into the way deputies handled the call.

The sheriff’s office says the investigation into the possible feticide is ongoing. Investigators made the discovery when serving an arrest warrant last month on Blacks Creek Church Road. It’s unclear if the person named in the warrant was arrested.

It was reported that there were two dead infants on the property, which investigators say may have been linked to previous domestic abuse incidents.

They found two more people with active arrest warrants at the home, both of whom were taken into custody. None of the suspects’ names have been released.

Deputies also found meth and a syringe in a room with a child and one of the suspects.

Later, the sheriff’s office says they were made aware of a video on social media that included “inappropriate comments made by deputies regarding a child.”

The resident and the parent of the child being referred to did not want to file a formal complaint, the sheriff’s office says. Despite that, the sheriff’s office says they are continuing to investigate the “violations of policy” seen in the video.

“We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation during this sensitive investigation and remain committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and accountability,” the sheriff’s office’s statement said.
