SEYMOUR, Ind. — A 33-year-old Seymour woman faces a low-level felony charge of domestic battery involving a child younger than 14, according to Indiana State Police and court records. The investigation began in early September, after a child younger than 14 reported an alleged battery at a Jackson County home. State police said in a news release issued Tuesday that Carrie E. McCoy was accused in the incident that was reported to have happened in August. The Indiana Department of Child Services and state police investigated the report. Detective Jason Duncan submitted the case to the Jackson County prosecutor’s office after the investigation. A judge issued a warrant Oct. 28. The release did not provide any details of the investigation. McCoy surrendered at the Jackson County jail before her initial court appearance. At a Tuesday hearing in Jackson Circuit Court, she appeared in custody with an attorney. The court ordered her released on her own recognizance, placed her on pretrial services and barred her from contacting the child. A pretrial conference is scheduled for Dec. 21. ...read more read less
