Two people from Vera, OK, are arrested on suspicion of child abuse.

 41-year-old Johnny Lee James and 42-year-old Kayla Sharee Clark were arrested on Sunday after sheriff's deputies were called to their rural Washington County home for possible child abuse or neglect of a 15-year-old girl. Upon arrival at the home, deputies found the teenager tied up to a tree in the yard and learned she had been sleeping on a piece of carpet. The girl was taken to a hospital where she was treated for injuries. The Department of Human Services – Child Welfare division took the child into the state’s custody.

Both James and Clark are being held on $500,000 bonds. Their next court date is set for tomorrow when formal charges are expected to be filed.
