A Chadbourn woman is facing multiple charges after being booked into the Columbus County Detention Center earlier this week.
Arrest details
According to publicly available booking information, Advaneek Ridgeway, 32, of 22 W. Second St., Chadbourn, was taken into custody on March 3, 2026, just after 3 p.m. She was charged with:
- Assault on a pregnant woman
- Battery of an unborn child
- Communicating threats
- Contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile
The arrest was made by the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office, and Ridgeway was held under a $2,500 secured bond.
Charge context
The primary charge, assault on a pregnant woman, is treated as a serious offense under North Carolina law, and the accompanying charge of battery of an unborn child indicates prosecutors may allege harm or attempted harm to the fetus. The additional charges—communicating threats and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile—suggest there were other elements involved in the incident, though no narrative details were included in the booking record.
Status
Booking records note that the information reflects an arrest and does not imply guilt. Ridgeway’s case will proceed through the court system, where further details are expected to emerge.
