Man arrested on child abuse charges in Richmond

BEREA, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – A Berea man accused of abuse at a child development center is scheduled to appear in Madison County Court for a hearing next week. Richmond Police report that 40-year-old Casey Caudill was arrested on Friday following an investigation into an alleged incident at the Eastern Scholar Child Development Center in April.

The investigation began after teachers at the center noticed bruises on a three-year-old child. According to police, Caudill has previously been accused in connection with incidents at two other facilities, but no charges were filed in those cases.

Court records show that Caudill is due in court for a status hearing next Tuesday regarding the alleged April incident. In the meantime, he was released on Wednesday after posting a $2,500 cash bond.
