Sgt. Mike Walsh of the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office reports that 43-year-old Klinton Finley of Dell Rapids has been arrested after a day care witnessed large bruises on a child in his custody.

Walsh  says felony child abuse charges.

During the Police Media Briefing, Walsh told reporters the Department of Social Services and police responded to the day case and saw bruises  on the child's legs and a slap mark on his face as well as a cut behind his ear.

Walsh says the child told investigators he was beaten for not doing his chores quick enough. Walsh says Finley confirmed the information.
