Spartanburg man sentenced to prison for severe infant abuse
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – A Spartanburg man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the severe abuse that sent an 11-month-old to the hospital with injuries that included a broken back. Dalton Lane Miller, 23, pleaded guilty on Friday to felony child abuse with great bodily injury and unlawful neglect of a child. In June 2024, Hannah Cason brought her extremely bruised infant to the Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. Miller, who had been dating Cason for three months at the time, drove her and the child to the hospital, but refused to enter the building and stayed in the parking lot, according to the 7th Circuit Solicitor's Office.

He also tested positive for cocaine, fentanyl, and THC. Officers with the Chesnee Police Department and the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office were called to the hospital and the infant was transferred to Prisma Health Children's Hospital in Greenville for further treatment. Later examination showed that the infant had a broken frenulum, infected eyes, two fractured vertebrae, and suspicion of chemical injury. Officers found text messages from Miller, sharing photos of the child's injuries to a neighbor and how he was upset he that no one had wished him a happy Father's Day.

Miller received credit for the nearly one year of time served. He must also cooperate with counseling and the substance treatment unit. The Solicitor's Office said that Cason has also entered a guilty plea to the same charges and is awaiting sentencing.
