Arraignment Monday for Carthage man who allegedly broke five-year-old daughter's leg

A Carthage man who allegedly broke his five-year-old daughter's leg January 11 will be arraigned in Jasper County Circuit Court Monday.

Lance Breeding, 27, who is charged with felony child abuse, was bound over for trial February 21.

A Carthage Police Department news release said Breeding's five-year-old daughter had to have surgery on a broken leg and that her abuse also included severe bruising on her back, buttocks and legs.

Breeding told officers he spanked the girl for disobeying him, then pushed her into a room causing her to hit her dresser when she failed to clean her room.

When she sat on the floor, he kicked her and told her to get up, according to the news release.

Breeding is being held in the Jasper County Jail on a $50,000 cash-only bond.
