Man appears to be headed to trial in abuse case involving 17-month-old

A Hebron man who is accused of deliberately injuring a 17-month-old foster child who was in his care has refused a plea deal and is to stand trial beginning Monday.

Clarence P. Stone-Wright, 28, of county Route 30, faces a felony count of second-degree assault and misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child and making a false written statement. He is accused of squeezing and bruising the face of the boy, who was a foster child in the care of Stone-Wright and a woman who lived with him. The child was injured in May.
