Athens County Couple Convicted Of Child Abuse Arrested In Franklin County

Athens County Sheriff's Office

Athens County Sheriff's deputies say a couple convicted of abusing their infant daughter has been arrested in Franklin County.  Extradition is pending for Kayla Fannon and Samuel Thompson, who fled during their trial earlier this month for beating a child in 2014. The child sustained dozens of broken bones and a brain injury while in the couple's care. The child was later adopted by her foster parents.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
