JAMESTOWN, N.D. (Valley News Live) – A Jamestown childcare provider was arrested on suspicion of child abuse involving a child under 6-years-old.
55-year old old Deborah E Jespersen is facing a felony child abuse charge. Police say she is also charged with providing early childhood services with a revoked license.
On Friday, authorities say they competed their investigation after the initial report on the case came in on April 29th.
The report found a 6-month-old child suffered a spiral fracture of the arm while under the care of an unlicensed childcare provider.
A search warrant was executed last week at Jesperson’s home where evidence was seized.
Jespersen is being held in the Stutsman County Correctional Center pending formal charges from the Stutsman County State’s Attorney.
