On June 26, 2015, the New York State Police at Liberty announce the arrest of Jesse Krebs, age 25, and Nicole Hughes, age 28, both from Smallwood, NY for the misdemeanor charge of Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

Troopers patrolling the Smallwood area of the Town of Bethel came upon a two year old female child wandering outside naked and crying. An investigation ensued which revealed that Krebs and Hughes were the caretaker of the child and were subsequently arrested for their lack of supervision of the child.

The child was examined by EMS, determined to be in good health and ultimately turned over to family members. Krebs and Hughes were released on appearance tickets returnable in the Town of Bethel Court.
