MARQUETTE, MI— Court hearings have been set for a Marquette husband and wife accused of locking their special-needs son in a closet for hours at a time.
Dr. Colin Irish, 57, and his wife Carrie, 49, are both charged with second-degree child abuse. They allegedly locked the 10-year-old in the closet without heat, blankets, or a pillow. He apparently only wore underwear and may have suffered frostbite.
Both suspects remain free on bond.
A probable cause hearing is set for Thursday and a preliminary hearing for March 13 in Marquette District Court.
