49-year-old Jimmy Burns McKinney of East Florence, Alabama has been arrested and lodged in the Lauderdale County Jail on charges of Child Abuse after police investigated a claim that he punched a 12-year-old girl in the face.
McKinney had reportedly been asking the girl questions about her mother and when she refused to answer he allegedly punched her.
Updated 4/10/10 – After having spent a week in jail for a crime he never committed, the 12-year-old girl has admitted that she made up the report. She has now been charged with Filing a False Report. We deal with a lot of douchebags here but it’s unconscionable for someone to accuse an innocent person of having done something like this.
The girl hasn’t said why she made up the allegations.
