 With the Metro News Minute, I'm Chris Lawrence. Preliminary hearings are set to begin this afternoon in Lincoln County for a couple facing charges of child neglect after their two-year-old daughter drowned and their three-year-old son was injured. The children wandered away from their home and got into a farm pond near Hamlin last week. Authorities in Berkeley County say a county animal control officer had to put down a pit bull Wednesday. Investigators got a call about the dog attacking a cat and then witnessed it attack another dog.
