A Kinston man was arrested this week at the Lenoir County Courthouse in connection with an incident of child abuse that allegedly occurred Feb. 17.
Byris Harris, 40, of 605 Larkspur Road, was charged Tuesday with felony child abuse inflicting serious injury.

The KDPS did not release the name or the age of the minor.
