On Tuesday, following an investigation which began September 27, detective R.M. Brown charged Diane Medina, 38, of Roanoke Rapids, with felony neglect of a child causing serious bodily injury.
Hall declined to discuss how the child was neglected. He did confirm the child was 4-years-old but declined to disclose gender.
It was not immediately clear how the child had been neglected before their condition was reported through medical facilities and an investigation was launched by social services and the sheriff’s office.
Medina posted a $3,000 bond and has a November 15 court date.
The child continues to recover at a undisclosed medical facility.

On October 13 shortly after 11 p.m., Sergeant J.R. Matthews stopped a Ford Explorer on West Tenth Street for an expired registration plate.
The driver, who was later identified as Solomon Thomas Johnston, 46, of Roanoke Rapids, was an absconder from probation and parole. He also had two orders for his arrest outstanding.
Johnston provided Matthews a false name during the encounter.
Further investigation led to Matthews discovering Johnston’s identity along with marijuana and cocaine.
Johnston was taken to the sheriff’s office where he was charged with felony possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, resisting a public officer and driving with a revoked license. He was later placed in the Halifax County Detention Center under a $6,000 secured bond and a November 1 court date pending.
On September 26, the sheriff’s office responded to a residence in the West Tenth Street area of Roanoke Rapids regarding a breaking and entering.

He received a $7,000 secured bond and November 8 court date.
