MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - A Mitchell man accused of hitting his teenage daughter with a piece of wood after she tried to sneak out of the house has pleaded guilty to a child abuse charge.

The Daily Republic newspaper reports that 45-year-old Dennis Theunissen reached a plea agreement with prosecutors under which he will serve no jail time, if a judge approves at his sentencing next month.

Authorities say Theunissen struck his 17-year-old daughter with a piece of scrap oak last August after catching her trying to sneak out through her bedroom window. She suffered bruises and a cut on her hand.
