A St. Joe couple remain in jail after their arrest Thursday on child-endangerment charges. Police said they responded last week to a call of a child with bleeding feet. According to court filings, a youngster was found to have severely infected toes on both feet. The victim had to be admitted to the hospital because of the seriousness of the infection.

Edward and Margaret Maples are each charged with a class-d felony count of endangering the welfare of a child. Bail was set at $2,500 with a $500 cash deposit. The pair are scheduled to appear before Associate Judge Keith Marquart on Tuesday.

According to the probable cause affidavit, the victim and an older sibling have been removed from the home several times in the past for child neglect.
