CHADRON, Neb. (AP) — A Chadron mother and her boyfriend have been arrested in connection with injuries suffered by her 10-month-old daughter.
Online court records say 22-year-old Jessica Cuny is charged with assault and intentional child abuse. Thirty-five-year-old Verne Weston is charged with being an accessory to a felony. Online court records don’t list the names of attorneys who could be contacted to comment on Weston’s or Cuny’s behalf.
The two were arrested after doctors at a hospital in Aurora, Colorado, determined that the little girl was suffering from nonaccidental head injuries, including a skull fracture.
The investigation began Oct. 10, when Cuny took her daughter to a medical clinic in Chadron and then joined her later at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora.
