Both Timothy and Katrina were arrested on October 7 on injury-to-a-child charges. <\/p>\n

The charges stem from an investigation that started September 5, after the couple took their adopted 13-year-old son to the hospital unconscious, with fractures on his ribs and spine, bruises all over his body, suffering from hypothermia and showing signs of being “extremely malnourished.”<\/p>\n

Doctors described the teen as weighing 33 pounds and being “literally skin and bone.”<\/p>\n

According to jail records, Timothy is charged with “injury to a child” and “injury to a child involving intentional or knowing serious bodily injury or serious mental impairment\/deficiency” and is held on a combined bond of $265,000.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Katrina is charged with “injury to a child involving intentional or knowing serious bodily injury or serious mental impairment\/deficiency” and is held under a $1,000,000 bond.<\/p>\n

As of Monday afternoon, both suspects remain in jail.<\/p>\n
