The mother and father of an 11-week-old boy have been arrested in connection with injuries sustained by the infant, the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office announced Thursday.

Preston English, 36, and Sara-Lena Lannon, 25, both of Deptford Township, have each been charged with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

The GCPO Major Crimes unit began investigating the pair after the Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., contacted authorities on Jan. 10 about suspected child abuse when the boy was brought in with fractures to his leg and ribs, prosecutors say.

The child had been taken to the hospital by his parents, according to prosecutors, who say he has since been discharged and is in the custody of the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency.

English and Lannon were arrested on Jan. 21 in Deptford by members of the GCPO Fugitive Investigations Unit without incident, authorities say.

Both were placed in Salem County Correctional Facility on $100,000 bail.
