WEXFORD COUNTY, MI – A Northern Michigan couple has been bound over for trial in a case of child abuse against a toddler.

Christopher Allen, 33, of Reed City, and Wesley Ann Conner, 21, of Leroy, are both charged with child abuse related to alleged incidents from 2023, the Michigan Department of Attorney General announced.
