A Madison man has been arrested on a charge of willful torture/abuse of a child by a caregiver or person in charge, an official said.

Capt. John Stringer of the Madison Police Department said 37-year-old Jamerson Lee Baker was arrested on a warrant obtained by detectives who were investigating allegations made earlier this month.

Stringer said Baker was a former teacher’s aide. Madison City Schools said Baker was a contract employee through a staffing agency.

He was booked into the Limestone County Jail, which means the alleged crime occurred in Limestone County. The only Madison City School in Limestone County is James Clemens High School on the west side of County Line Road.

After his arrest, Baker was booked into the Limestone County Jail. Bond has not been set.
