Salem Police have arrested a 26-year-old former resident now living in Centralia for aggravated battery to a child.
Detectives say the October 24th incident involving Mary Rushing of Calumet Street first came to light when injuries were reported by her school. At that time the 10-year-old female was taken to Salem Township Hospital for treatment. The incident allegedly occurred at Rushing’s former residence in Salem.
Salem Police say they had been looking for Rushing and took her into custody on Monday during a response to a domestic disturbance in the 400 block of East Mitchell Street.
