Couple charged with child abuse after infant’s tragic death

Greenwood Township, MI

Elizabeth LynnLanor Hogan and Devin Austin Brown-Fowler are facing multiple charges following the death of their infant son. The couple is accused of second, third, and fourth degree child abuse in connection with the death of seven-month-old Maverick Lyle Bouck earlier this year.

On May 4, law enforcement responded to their residence on South 192nd Avenue. They discovered the infant unresponsive.

Initial reports described a tragic scene. Oceana County Sheriff Craig Mast remarked on the situation, expressing sympathy for the family.

Details have since emerged regarding the circumstances leading to the child’s death. Family members disclosed that the infant suffered three skull fractures, broken ribs, and a brain bleed.

The child’s grandmother indicated that one skull fracture appeared to be older, suggesting a history of abuse.

Charges against Hogan and Brown-Fowler do not include homicide, as authorities assert evidence does not support intent to harm.

On November 24, both subjects were arraigned and remain in custody at the Oceana County Jail. Hogan’s bond is set at $25,000, while Brown-Fowler’s is $50,000.

They are scheduled for preliminary examinations on December 9.
