A Beaver Dam couple has been charged with criminally abusing their three-month-old baby.

Authorities said Kentucky State Police was called to the Ohio County Hospital in June to investigate a complaint after a three-month-old baby arrived at the emergency room with a head injury. Because of the severity of the injury, the baby was later transported to Norton Children’s Hospital, in Louisville.

On Friday night, and after a six month investigation, police charged the baby’s parents, 31-year-old Janet Lucas and her husband, 36-year-old Felipa Lucas, both of Beaver Dam , with criminal abuse of a child under the age of 12 and wanton endangerment.

No information on the baby’s current condition was available.

They were lodged in the Ohio County Detention Center but are no longer listed as inmates at the facility.
