CRESTVIEW, Fla. (AP) - A Crestview soldier and his fiancée face charges of child abuse and neglect in the death of the man's 2-year-old son.

The Northwest Florida Daily News reported that 27-year-old Army Sgt. Grant H. Sherwin and his fiancée 26-year-old Nichole Marie Allen, were arrested late Thursday after Allen's son was found dead by emergency responders.

The boy's twin sister was taken into protective custody.

According to investigators, emergency crews went to the home Wednesday evening after the couple called 911. Emergency workers told police that they found 2-year-old Logan malnourished and with numerous bruises on his body.

Okaloosa County Jail records show that both Sherwin and Allen remained in custody on Friday. Both were charged with Aggravated Child Abuse and Child Neglect. Neither had an attorney listed.

Sherwin is a supply sergeant with the Army 7th Special Forces Group.
