(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a Horton area man accused of the abuse of a child has been pushed back to next year.
The hearing for Michael McAfee was continued Wednesday to January 13th.
McAfee is charged in Brown County District Court with abuse of a child, aggravated child endangerment and battery.
County Attorney Kevin Hill says the charges stem from the alleged beating of a child born in 2004 that was under McAfee’s care.
He was arrested October 16th on a county warrant following an investigation by the Brown County Sheriff’s Department.
McAfee remains free on a $25,000 bond.
