An arrest warrant was issued for James Uel Choate III, 35, with bond set at $100,000, with a condition that Choate is not to have contact with anyone under age 18.
From the probable cause statement:
On that same date Victim 1, a four-year-old child, and his six-year-old brother were taken by James Choate to the home of a babysitter.
When she saw the bruises all over the body of Victim 1, she called the police. According to the babysitter, these bruises were not present when she last saw the children on February 20, 2025.
The children were taken to the Children’s Center where it was disclosed that James Choate had beaten, choked and kicked Victim 1 causing physical injuries.
The case was investigated by the Webb City Police Department.
