Two Quincy residents are behind bars after an investigation into child abuse and neglect.

The Adams County Sheriff's Office received a tip in August from the Department of Child Family Services (DCFS) about the suspected abuse.

An investigation revealed severe physical abuse and prolonged exposure to the use of controlled substances.

Investigators also found evidence that incidents of physical abuse to the children led to the permanent disfigurement to a child with a disability.

They also discovered that methamphetamine was given to the children.

Zechariah Wigfall Sr., 36, was arrested on two counts of aggravated battery and aggravated domestic battery. He is being held on $75,000 bond.

Stephanie Hendricks, 40, was taken into custody on a charge of aggravated delivery of a controlled substance. She is being held on a $50,000 bond.
