Couple arrested after daughter was injured
An injury to a young girl led Morgan County sheriff’s deputies to arrest the child’s parents Monday on a charge of endangering the life/health of a child.
Adam J. Lacy, 27, and Kimber M. Meyer, 28, both of 13 Shafer Road, Meredosia, were booked into the Morgan County Jail about 5:15 p.m. Monday on that charge. They have since posted bail and been released.
Chief Deputy Mike Carmody said sheriff’s deputies received a call about 10:30 p.m. Thursday from Passavant Area Hospital that a girl younger than 5 was being treated at the hospital for a non-life-threatening injury. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services also was contacted about the situation.
Carmody said an investigation by the sheriff’s department and DCFS staff “yielded information that the child was being exposed to an environment where drugs were being used and it was necessary to remove her from that environment. We believe that currently the child is being cared for by family members.”
