Couple jailed in child injury case
A local couple sought in connection with an injury to a child case were in custody on Jan. 27 and awaiting arraignment for first degree felony injury to a child.
Bowie Police Chief Guy Green said Jonah Belcher, 23, and Cheyenne Eckert, 23, both of Bowie, turned themselves in on warrants issued out of the department over the weekend. Belcher turned himself in at the Montague County Sheriff’s office Monday, while Eckert, mother of the injured child, turned herself in to Galveston law enforcement.
Green said Eckert apparently left town and went to a family member in south Texas. She was still in jail Tuesday awaiting arraignment before being transported back to Montague County.
The investigation of a possible injured child began the afternoon of Jan. 24 when the police received a call. The sheriff’s office also reportedly received a 911 call for an injured child in the city.
