Trial Delayed for Charles City Couple Charged with Child Endangerment

A Charles City couple charged with child endangerment will have their trials delayed until next year.

20-year-old Madison Geerts and 23-year-old Ezekiel Larson were arrested in September by Charles City Police and each faces one count of child endangerment causing serious injury, a Class C felony. Investigators say their then-four-month-old infant was injured while in Larson’s care and neither Larson nor Geerts sought medical attention for the child until four days later.

Larson and Geerts have both pleaded not guilty and their trials were scheduled for December 20th in Floyd County District Court. However, a continuance motion was granted this week and the trials have been rescheduled for February 21st.
