Charges have been filed against a High Street, Spencer
woman in the death of a six-month-old child last Sunday, June 2.
Police reportedly arrested 21-year-old Jessica Ferguson yesterday, following
an investigation which reportedly indicated the child could have died of a
head injury against a flat surface.
Parsons-Waybright Funeral Home in Ripley said a private service will be held
for Shea Ferguson, who was born on April 25, 2002. The funeral home
indicated Ms. Ferguson may have been a former resident of Jackson
County.
Information is yet to be made available about the circumstances
surrounding the death, but the charge against Ms. Ferguson is said to be
"death of a child by parent or custodian.'
