Oakland County, MI – A Rochester Hills mother and her boyfriend are facing first-degree child abuse charges after doctors discovered her 4-year-old daughter suffered a broken leg and a broken arm in incidents authorities say allegedly went untreated.
According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, Kimberly Ann McGarry, 26, was arraigned Wednesday in 52-3 District Court in Rochester Hills. Magistrate Melinda Balian set her bond at $150,000 with a 10 percent provision, allowing release after posting $15,000. McGarry was arrested Tuesday near Grand Rapids by U.S. Marshals.
Her boyfriend, Cleyde Murillo, 29, was arraigned July 14 on related charges. His bond was set at $750,000 with a 10 percent provision, according to court documents. Murillo was reportedly arrested July 11 in Muskegon County during a supervised visit with his daughter.
Sheriff’s detectives said the case began on December 26, 2024, after child protective services were contacted about the 4-year-old. Doctors at a local hospital determined the girl had both a broken left leg and a broken right arm, allegedly in different stages of healing. Authorities said the injuries were not consistent with the mother’s claim that the child had fallen down stairs two weeks earlier.
McGarry allegedly gave detectives conflicting statements about how the injuries occurred and later admitted the injury happened November 15. Investigators allege neither McGarry nor Murillo sought medical treatment for the child, raising concerns of permanent injury.
The couple was charged July 10 by the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office. The two other children in McGarry’s care, a 6-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, are now living with their biological father. A conviction for first-degree child abuse in Michigan can carry a life sentence.
