On the afternoon of May 24, three-year-old
Nicolae Hensley collapsed in his front yard. The child was unresponsive,
and was air lifted to UT Hospital where he later died.
Three months later, the Jefferson County sheriff's office made three
arrests in connection with his death, including Nicolae's parents.
Danielle Autume Cutshall, 31, of New Market was arrested Tuesday at her
place of work in Sevier County and charged with first degree murder
after autopsy results indicate Hensley died after receiving a blunt
force trauma to the head. Cutshall was living at the residence when the
incident occurred.
Cutshall has also been charged with aggravated child abuse.
Derrick Donavan Hensley, 24, father of Nicolae Hensley, was arrested in
Strawberry Plains and charged with aggravated child abuse. Nicolaeās
mother, Brittaney Barbee, 31, was also arrested and charged with child
abuse and neglect.
All charged are currently being held at the Jefferson County jail. |
