Angelina County jail records show Ashley Wingo and Elisiah Phipps were being held Thursday on felony injury to a child charges. Online jail records don't list attorneys for the pair, whose bond is $50,000 apiece.
This week's indictment involves an Oct. 22 incident. Lufkin police responded to an anonymous call about a child being beaten.
Lt. David Young says police found Wingo and the injured girl hiding in a closet. The child was taken to a hospital. An affidavit says Phipps told police he used belts, switches and shoes to discipline the girl.
Police on Thursday didn't immediately provide an update on the child.
