SEYMOUR — A 33-year-old Seymour woman has been arrested on a felony charge following an investigation by the Indiana State Police into an alleged incident involving a juvenile.
Detectives from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post arrested Carrie E. McCoy, 33, of Seymour, following an investigation that began in early September. According to state police, the case was initiated after a juvenile under the age of 14 reported that an alleged battery had taken place at a Jackson County residence.
Following the initial report, the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) and state police detectives launched a joint investigation into the allegations. Upon completion of the inquiry, Detective Jason Duncan submitted the case file to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office for formal review.
The review resulted in a criminal arrest warrant being issued for McCoy, charging her with one count of domestic battery on a person less than 14 years of age, a Level 6 felony.
McCoy turned herself in at the Jackson County Jail, where she was arrested and incarcerated pending her initial appearance in the Jackson County Circuit Court. Official arrest photos and further booking details can be obtained directly through the Jackson County Jail.
State police emphasized that under the law, criminal charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
