Felony charges against an Oil City couple in an alleged child endangerment case were withdrawn Wednesday in Venango County Central Court.

A criminal complaint filed through district judge Andrew Fish’s office said Oil City police received multiple reports stating the couple had failed to provide proper hygiene and eye care for their 8-year-old daughter between January 2017 and February 2018.
