GREENVILLE, N.C. — A Greenville couple has been arrested on child abuse charges.
WITN reports Joseph Reid, 39, and Lucreasha Reid, 32, were both charged with two counts of felony child abuse and one misdemeanor count of child abuse.

Kristen Hunter, a spokesperson with the Greenville Police Department, said detectives began looking into the couple in February after reports of possible child abuse going on at their home on Corinth Drive.

Hunter said the investigation revealed two children at their home had visible signs of ongoing physical abuse and did not get proper medical care.

It is also believed that the couple withheld food from the children.

Both posted a $50,000 bond Thursday.
