CAMERON (March 26, 2009)-Joshua Maricle, 24, of Cameron, was arrested Wednesday night on a charge of injury to a child.

Cameron police officers Tom DeWees and Jason Lantz were dispatched to the West Housing apartment complex at about 9:12 p.m. Wednesday after a caller reported a child had been assaulted there.

Initial investigation by officers revealed a 10-year-old boy had reported he was assaulted three times in three different locations within the complex.

Assaulted a child THREE TIMES? and into other apartments? Sounds like maybe the kid did something to some other child... or something maybe. Who knows anymore, people are crazy. The only thing I can see is if the kid hurt this guy's kid or sister or something.

Maybe if there weren't so many typos this story would make some sense. Whichever way though, he assaulted a child, it does not matter in which way, shape or form he deserves to be punbished!
