Four Collared For Locking Kids In Kennel

A Nebraska mother is in jail for allegedly caging her two young sons in an animal kennel so they couldn’t sneak out of her hellhole trailer at night.


Ashly Clark, 22, was collared Monday night, along with a trio of her trailer-mates, after cops in North Platte discovered how she had imprisoned her young boys, ages three and five, in a dog kennel.

Clark told police she locked the boys up after they tried to hop out of the windows of her trailer.

Officers found an extremely unsanitary living environment at the home, which was littered with dirty clothes, trash and animal feces. Officers found the two young boys inside a 42 X 30 inch animal kennel secured by a wire tie.

Arrested and charged with Felony Child Abuse, First Degree False Imprisonment and Misdemeanor Child Abuse were: 25-year-old Bryson Eyten, 24-year-old Samantha Eyten, 22-year-old Ashly Clark and 20-year-old Lacy Beyer.

Two other children, a 7-year-old and an 8-month-old girl were also in the home at the time of the arrests, but were not being confined.

All of the adults and children were living in the house. The two girls are the children of Bryson and Samantha Eyten; the two boys are Clark’s children. All were taken into juvenile protective custody.

The adults were aware of the unsanitary living conditions and claim the boys were locked up to prevent them from sneaking away from the home.
