Judge sets $40,000 bond in child abuse case

Associate Circuit Judge Frank Miller has set a $40,000 cash-only bond for an Advance, Missouri, woman accused of two felonies related to the abuse of a child.

Tamera Carroll, 43, was charged with abuse or neglect of a child, and second-degree domestic assaults, both Class D felonies, after she's alleged to have injured the child Monday, Dec. 18.

According to the probable-cause statement, most of which is redacted, including the name of the investigating officer, the child was diagnosed with a concussion and a "small subdural hematoma" as a result of the assault.

As part of the bond conditions, the defendant is ordered to have no contact with the victim or any witnesses in the case.
