Jaime Davidson was indicted by a Chambers County grand jury in November 2021 for felony injury to a child, court records obtained Monday by KSAT Investigates show.
Jaime Davidson “intentionally and knowingly” caused injury to a child under the age of 14 in Oct. 2021 by striking her leg and buttocks with a belt or “in a manner unknown to the grand jury,” the indictment states.
Authorities in Chambers County on Friday issued an alias capias warrant for Davidson, records show. This type of warrant is typically issued in felony cases when a defendant misses a court appearance.
The couple’s attorney, Derek Ritchie, did not respond to a phone call seeking comment Monday from KSAT.
A spokesperson for the Department of Family and Protective Services Region 6, which covers Chambers County, declined to comment Monday stating that specific details of DFPS cases are confidential according to law.
BCSO officials have not provided an update on when Jaime Davidson will be transferred Chambers County.
