North Platte woman accused of felony child abuse

A North Platte woman was arrested on Monday, accused of felony child abuse.

On October 26, North Platte police responded to Great Plains Health on the report of possible child abuse.

Officers made contact with hospital personnel, and learned that a 2-month-old child had been brought in with injuries the staff deemed "suspicious."

Police say staff advised officers that the child's injuries were serious and the cause could not be established.

According to police, officers spoke with the child's mother, 25-year-old Trina Clark.

Following questioning, police say officers determined there was probable cause to arrest Clark for child abuse, a Class II felony.

Clark was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.

The child was flown to an Omaha hospital for treatment. Police say the baby is in stable condition at this time.
