Dead toddler’s parents arrested
HENDERSONVILLE (AP) ó The parents of a 15-month-old who suffered serious rat bites in 2006 have been arrested on a probation violation in North Carolina.
Henderson County authorities said Henry and Cathy Hollenbeck were taken into custody Thursday. Sheriff’s Office spokesman Capt. Charlie McDonald said the couple was found hiding in the home of Cathy Hollenbeck’s mother in East Flat Rock.
The couple was arrested in 2006 on child abuse charges. Their child, Shea, had been bitten about 100 times by a rat in their mobile home.
Shea was taken into custody by local social service workers. He died that December from complications to cerebral palsy.
Henry and Cathy Hollenbeck received 2 years and 18 months, respectively, of supervised probation. They received more time last year after missing several appointments.
