The Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department has arrested a woman in a case of alleged child abuse.

The investigation started on April 14, after investigators received a call about a child being abused, said Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun. 

The case is being investigated between the department and child protective services, he said.

A search warrant was initiated on Thursday at a residence in Lauderdale County and Pamela Stewart, 32, was taken into custody, Calhoun said. 

Stewart was charged with child abuse and possession of a controlled substance and is being held at the Lauderdale County Detention Facility on a $32,000 bond.
