The Raeford Police Department said a 29-year-old woman abused a child at a church day care center.

The incident happened on April 25, but Raeford police only found out about it Wednesday night.

Tisha Harris is charged with two counts of child abuse and two counts of assault on a child less than 12 years old.

Administrators at First Baptist Christian Academy were told Wednesday not to let Harris return to the school. She came back to the daycare anyway, and that's when she was arrested.

Harris was being processed at the Hoke County Jail and will be released on a $1,500 secured bond.
