A Solomon man is in jail facing charges in connection with a reported case of child abuse.

Saline County Undersheriff Roger Soldan said deputies were sent to a home in the 2600 block of Donmyer Road Saturday after the Sheriff’s Office was contacted by a family member.

Deputies found injuries to a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy.

Soldan said 47-year-old Mark Petitjohn was arrested and jailed on several requested charges including two counts of child abuse, two counts of battery, and one count of criminal threats.

Petitjohn is alleged to have hit the teenagers and as well as threatening to kill them on Thursday. They were not treated for their injuries.

The two teenagers, as well as one other teenage boy, were removed from the home by deputies and placed in temporary emergency care, according to Soldan.
