Alleged Baby Beaters Nabbed by SVU
Scioto County officers arrested the parents of 5-week-old twins for assault and child endangering after an investigation by the Special Victims Unit (SVU).
Sheriff David Thoroughman says a Columbus hospital contacted Scioto County law enforcement to report a possible case of child abuse on Monday.
Medics reported that one baby had a broken arm, and both infants showed signs of hemorrhages in their eyes.
When detectives arrived at the hospital, they learned the babies suffered from multiple broken bones, including rib fractures, bruising, and injuries to their faces.
Officials notified CPS, and the agency took custody of the children from the parents.
Sheriff Thoroughman says the parents Codi Alexander Ronald Allen, 20, and SueAnn Carter, 27, were interviewed by detectives on Wednesday and arrested on charges of felonious assault(4 counts) and child endangerment( 7 counts).
They are currently held in the Scioto County Jail on a $340,000 bond
