PLAISTOW, N.H. (AP) — A fugitive couple arrested at a Florida theme park have returned to New Hampshire to face charges in the beating and burning of the woman’s 3-year-old son.

According to online records, 23-year-old Jessica Linscott and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Roland Dow, were in custody Saturday night at the Rockingham County jail.

The Plaistow couple waived extradition on Friday, two days after they were arrested by federal
marshals at Universal Studios in Orlando following two weeks on the run.

Dow is charged with first- and second-degree assault.

He and Linscott face multiple charges of child endangerment for failing to protect and get medical attention for 3-year-old James, who remains hospitalized at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth in Lebanon, N.H.

Rockingham County District Attorney Jim Reams has said he expects they will appear in court sometime next week.

Corrections officials say Linscott and Dow have denied media requests for interviews.
