A 40-year-old father and his 34-year-old girlfriend have been arrested in Sulphur, Louisiana for the alleged abuse of his 15-year-old son, abuse that allegedly went on as long as half a day.

Local news outlet KPLC reported that Thomas Wininger and Desirae Tomcanin were arrested in connected with the alleged brutal “punishment” techniques used to discipline the teen. The couple now faces charges of second degree cruelty to a juvenile and false imprisonment.

While Wininger is originally from Georgia and Tomcanin is from Pennsylvania, police at the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana made the arrest after the boy escaped around 10 o’clock at night on July 3. The teen had visible signs of injuries on face and back after he ran through the woods to a neighboring home. It was there that the police were called.

Wininger and Tomcanin are accused of abusing the teen by placing shock collars on his ankles, cuffing him and hog-tying him, sometimes for 12 hours per day.

1. Phew, this crap is so damn freaky, the poor kid. n/t

2. These people sound very uncivil to me. But serve them fake eggs and spam in prison anyway.

7. Spam and Egg-Beaters are delicious!

Give them plain oatmeal and Textured Vegetable Protein.

God, I can't imagine having to flee your own family's house through the woods like you're escaping a kidnapper.

3. Why does the photo of the criminal

usually make the guy look like a streotypical criminal? This dude sure does look like he did what he is accused of. Good thing I am not on that jury. Visual bias is my excuse.

4. Cause they're super frowny and dressed in orange and usually there's a sign w/their name

In front of them, although not in this case ...

At least those I'd think are a big part of the reason they 'usually look like criminals'

8. Nobody's in a good mood when getting their mugshot.

I look about the same in my Driver's License photo. Those cameras are awful, plus I figure if anyone sees my license I'm in trouble, on the news, or in a long line anyway and that's what probably what I'm going to look like!

To other poster - perhaps the number slates are cropped out of these, or they are the doubles of the ones with the in-camera labeling.

6. They look like nasty bastards to me. Bet they're Drumpees

9. Bet you're right. They don't look like deep thinkers, not so much. n/t
