Infant’s injuries lead to couple’s arrest

GREENFIELD — A Greenfield couple was arrested on battery and neglect charges Thursday, four months after the Department of Child Services received the first report of suspicious injuries to the pair’s infant daughter.

Joshua Wade, 27; and Kristan Wade, 20, have offered several explanations for the bruises, scratches – and most recently, broken bones – their daughter has suffered since the investigation began in late August.

DCS first visited the Wades’ home in the White Brooke mobile home park on Pratt Street on Aug. 30 after receiving a report of bruises on the couple’s then-4-month-old daughter.
