WILLISTON, N.D. — A woman who authorities say was providing unlicensed day care services in Williston is accused of severely injuring a 2-month-old baby in her care.
KMOT-TV reports that 23-year-old Corey Gardner was recently arrested in Montana. She faces a felony charge that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Court documents don't list an attorney for her.
Authorities say the baby was injured in November. Doctors at a children's critical care unit in Sioux Falls, South Dakota determined the child suffered broken bones, skull and brain injuries, ligament strains near her spine and retinal hemorrhages in her eyes. Police say the child is recovering.
