Couple charged with cruelty in death of son
BRUNSWICK --- A North Carolina couple faces child abuse charges in the case of the 3-month-old boy found dead in a Glynn County motel room, police said.
April Schultz, 21, and Michael Wood, 22, both of Randleman, N.C., were arrested Thursday afternoon on single counts of first-degree cruelty to children in the death of their son, Christopher Teague, said Sgt. Keith Stalvey of the Glynn County Police Department.
The child was found Wednesday "extremely malnourished," dirty and kept strapped in a child's car safety seat on the bathroom floor of his parents' room at the Super 8 Motel in Brunswick, Sgt. Stalvey said.
Police came to the hotel Wednesday morning after receiving an emergency call about the baby.
Although the Georgia Bureau of Investigation conducted an autopsy on Thursday in Savannah, the medical examiner has withheld a ruling in the child's death pending the results of toxicology and other tests, county Coroner Jimmy Durden said.
