(KAIR)--An Atchison man goes to jail after allegedly abusing a child.
“We did initiate an investigation on Wednesday after we received a report from the Department of Children and Family Services related to some concerns about a pre-adolescent male,” said Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson. “It does involve physical abuse and we did take a 30-year-old into custody on Wednesday afternoon in relation to the case.”
He said 30-year-old Carl Surritt faces the charge of abuse of a child.
Wilson, who was hesitant to name the exact age of the child, describes him as pre-adolescent—under the age of 13 but older than an infant.
The victim, who was known to Surritt, had been placed under his supervision when the abuse allegedly occurred.
Surritt was booked into the Atchison County Jail where he bonded out Wednesday on a $10,000 surety bond.
