BURR, Neb. (AP) - Authorities say a southeast Nebraska couple kept a 3-year-old boy in a makeshift cage for hours at a time.
The Lincoln Journal Star says (http://bit.ly/1kM3Ubq ) 23-year-old Louis Arms and 22-year-old Kelsi Gaube were arrested and face charges of child abuse.
An Otoe County jailer said Arms remained in custody on Tuesday. Gaube has bonded out of jail. A phone listing for her couldn't be found. Court records don't list attorneys for either of them.
Otoe County Attorney David Partsch says a sheriff's deputy found the makeshift cage Saturday when responding to a report in Burr about a disturbance. The cage was in a closet that had crib bars rigged across it.
Partsch says deputies think Arms and Gaube called the structure "The Prison" and would keep the boy in it.
