Deputies investigate possible child abuse

Staff

TAHLEQUAH — Cherokee County sheriff’s deputies were called last week to investigate a case of possible child abuse.

Deputies went to Tahlequah City Hospital, where a 1-year-old child had been admitted. The child had three arm fractures and burns between the legs. State officials have been notified.

In other matters, Dale Wilcox spoke to deputies Friday about a break-in at Caney Ridge Store. Thieves took two 30-packs of Keystone Light, three 6-packs of Bud Light, a pack of Budweiser and two cartons of Marlboro Lights.

Alisha Smallen-Caro told deputies Thursday that her daughter was on a swing and another child threw rocks at her.

Kimberly Shuma told deputies Thursday that her son was assaulted by a juvenile girl on a playground.

Monica Stark filed a threats report Thursday.

Bailey Poteet told deputies last week that someone used a vehicle without permission and also took several items out of the vehicle.

Where do you think bicycle trails are most needed in Cherokee County?

In the downtown corridor.
Not downtown, because it would be too congested, but on peripheral streets, like Bluff, Downing and College, and Muskogee but not downtown.
On the rural highways mainly in recreational areas, like Highways 10 and 82.
Only in special areas, like parks.
I do not think Cherokee County needs any (or more) bike trails.
