North Manchester – Today, a criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Tony Frawley resulted in the arrest of Savannah M. Baermann, 25, North Manchester, IN. Baermann is incarcerated in the Wabash County Jail to face a felony charge of battery.
Detective Frawley started an investigation after the Wabash County Division of the Indiana Department of Child Services notified him that a four-year-old Wabash County boy had allegedly been battered by his mother. During the investigation a video was provided to Detective Frawley. The video allegedly showed Baermann hitting her four-year-old son, repeatedly, with the backside and open side of her hand. The reported incident occurred in late July 2014, at Baermann’s North Manchester residence. The boy was placed into the care of his father, who does not live with Baermann.
This is an ongoing investigation.
