RED LAKE, MN (nomadnews.i234.me) – Jennifer Marie Stately, 35, is under fire as she faces four felony charges linked to a harrowing child abduction case that set off an Amber Alert last week.
Stately stands accused of third-degree assault on a child under 4 years old, child torture, malicious punishment of a child, and child neglect.
The alarming incident unfolded last Friday around 9:24 p.m. when the Todd County Sheriff’s Dispatch received a tip about a vehicle central to an ongoing Amber Alert. Law enforcement swiftly located the vehicle on Highway 71 in Todd County, discovering Stately and a child under 4 years old inside.
Disturbing details emerged as authorities observed the child’s distressing condition. Covered in scabs and open sores, the child bore the signs of severe neglect. Reports indicated a pervasive odor of body filth, suggesting prolonged lack of hygiene.
Further examination at Long Prairie Hospital revealed extensive injuries, including rotting teeth and lesions indicative of potential chemical burns.
Stately faces serious allegations of child endangerment, neglect, and assault. Following her arrest, she was remanded to the Todd County Detention Center, pending ongoing investigations.
The community awaits further developments as authorities pursue justice in this distressing case.
