PHOENIX (AP) — An Indiana man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he forced his young grandsons on brutal hikes in triple-digit heat at the Grand Canyon.
Christopher Carlson, of Indianapolis, entered pleas Wednesday in Phoenix on six counts of child abuse that each carries a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors allege that the 45-year-old grandfather deprived his three grandsons of food and water during two separate hikes in August.
