Released by the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
The Special Victims Unit of the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office made 2 arrests (Wednesday) resulting from an investigation of an incident that occurred on August 18, 2020.
Both suspects were caregivers at a community home for special needs adults and are accused of not only assaulting the victim but failing to report it as well.
Once the next shift at the home came on duty and observed the victim’s injuries, they immediately reported the incident to SLED’s Vulnerable Adult Unit, who then informed this agency.
The suspects are 23-year-old Eboney Temera Faith Hunter and 19-year-old Tijoun Azious Barne.

During the course of the investigation, both suspects eventually confessed to assaulting the victim with different weapons.
Both Hunter and Barner are charged with Abuse of a Vulnerable Adult and Failure to Report.
They were arrested in Greenville earlier today and transported to the detention facility, where they will appear before a magistrate later for bond arraignment.
