A 49-year-old Bourbon-area man has been arrested on a child neglect charge following an investigation into allegations of abuse.
Greg Eads was taken into custody at 3:08 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4, on an arrest warrant issued by the Marshall County Prosecutor's Office. He faces one count of child neglect and was held on a $1,500 cash bond at the Marshall County Jail until 5:34, when his bond was posted, and he was released.
According to the Marshall County Sheriff's Department, the investigation began on February 9 after the department received a criminal complaint regarding a 14-year-old boy who was allegedly battered by a caretaker and forced to ingest dish soap as a form of discipline.
Lt. Detective Les McFarland conducted the investigation, which included several interviews related to the complaint. A case report was completed and forwarded to the Marshall County Prosecutor's Office for review, which resulted in the arrest warrant being issued.
The investigation was conducted in cooperation with the Division of Child Services and the Marshall County Prosecutor's Office.
