Wrongful Death Man Charged With Manslaughter For Alleged Involvement in Infant’s Death

A man has been arrested and charged with second degree manslaughter after his girlfriend’s child died from severe head trauma and several broken bones.

It was Thursday, November 5, around 6:15 p.m. when Boone County Sheriff’s deputies and E.M.S were called to Calle Victoria Lane in Walton, for a report of a seven-week-old infant who had reportedly stopped breathing.

The baby’s mother’s boyfriend was taking care of the infant at the time and claimed he was changing the baby’s diaper when the child quit breathing.

The baby was pronounced dead at the Saint Elizabeth Hospital and Florence.

Sheriff’s Detectives arrested the boyfriend, Cody Phelps, on November 7, charging him with second degree manslaughter and first degree criminal abuse for his alleged involvement in the death of the child. The charges are currently accusations only.

Phelps is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Boone District Court on Monday November 16, 2015 at 8:30 a.m.
