NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-A couple is facing child abuse allegations following an incident at a Lake Maloney campground.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said at around 12:33 p.m. on Aug. 13, deputies responded to a suspicious activity report at Kansas Point Campground at Lake Maloney, south of North Platte.

The reporting party told deputies that a seven-month-old infant in their care had suspicious bruising.

Deputies examined the infant and observed bruising to the face and other areas of the body. The infant was transported to Great Plains Health and, after examination, was placed in the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services custody.

On Tuesday, investigators interviewed the infant's parents, Kyle Tatlow, 26, and Trisha Tatlow, 23, both homeless.

Following further investigation, deputies established probable cause to arrest Kyle Tatlow on suspicion of felony child abuse for allegedly biting the baby. Trisha Tatlow was cited for misdemeanor child abuse and false reporting.

The investigation is ongoing.
