MT. VERNON – A man charged Thursday with Aggravated Battery to a Child under the age of 13 was released Friday pending trial in Jefferson County Court.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Child Abuse investigators with the sheriff’s office and the Department of Children and Family Services began their investigation Thursday after getting a hotline tip about abuse at a home on Two Mile Creek Lane in Bluford. Investigators went to the home where they learned about allegations of serious battery to an 11-year-old family member.
At the conclusion of the investigation, the father, 32-year-old Nickolis F. Pavlovich, was arrested, charged and taken to the Jefferson County Jail to await his pre-trial detention hearing. He will be back in court for his preliminary hearing on Sept. 24.
