Elizabeth LynnLanor Hogan, 27, and Devin Austin Brown-Fowler, 34, stand accused of one count each of child abuse in the second degree, child abuse in the third degree, and child abuse in the fourth degree, according to the Oceana County Sheriff's Office.
The underlying incident is several months old.
On May 4, shortly before 8 p.m., law enforcement arrived at the couple's residence in Greenwood Township, Michigan.
There, responding sheriff's deputies found 7-month-old Maverick Lyle Bouck. The baby boy was dead; at the time, details were scarce.
"He had three skull fractures, three broken ribs and a brain bleed — he passed from the brain bleed," the child's grandmother – and the female defendant's mother – told the County Press.
The boy's grandmother went on to lay more of the blame at her daughter's feet, as opposed to similar culpability for the boyfriend, due to one of the skull fractures being an "older fracture."
The defendants are not currently facing homicide charges.
