A man is accused of beating his 5 year old stepson with a belt to discipline him.
Justin Watt was charged nearly two weeks ago with child abuse by injury in Tulsa County and was arrested Wednesday on a warrant.
Police tell KRMG that the child’s aunt took him to the hospital because he had belt marks on his back and police were called to OSU Medical Center.
We’re told that the 24 year old told police he disciplined the boy with a belt because the child refused to take a nap.
A police report says the marks were consistent with belt marks.
Bond has been set at $25,000.
