A Clark County  grandmother was indicted Thursday for felony criminal abuse charges after she allegedly restrained a toddler to its bed.

Francis “Janie” Purvis, 59, of 2 Linden Lane, was indicted on a single count of first-degree criminal abuse.

Purvis was arrested by Winchester Police in June following allegations that she tied her 2-year-old grandchild to its bed on at least three occasions. Witnesses told police Purvis used nylon rope twice and electrical cord a third time. Witnesses said the child was restrained so tightly it could not move at all.

According to court documents, Purvis told detectives she did it so the child wouldn’t get hurt.

The grand jury also indicted Carl D. Miller for complicity to first-degree criminal abuse. Winchester Police Capt. James Hall said Miller was in the home at the time of the alleged incidents, was aware of them and did nothing to stop them. Miller had not been charged previously.

The grand jury also indicted a man in connection with a fire that heavily damaged a downtown apartment building in June.

Billy J. Ross, 59, is facing a first-degree arson charge for allegedly starting a fire in an apartment at 40 N. Main St. on June 1.

The fire was reported around 9:40 p.m. When firefighters arrived, the fire was already burning heavily from the second floor. Firefighters rescued three people from a third-floor window. Though none were seriously injured, four people were transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation.

Ross told Winchester Police officers he started the fire because he was tired of people stealing things from him.
