BANQUETE, Texas (AP) -- Police arrested two officials at a Christian boot camp Friday who are accused of dragging a 15-year-old girl behind a van.

Officials say the girl earlier fell behind the group during a morning run on June 12th.

Camp director Charles Eugene Flowers and Stephanie Bassitt of San Antonio-based Love Demonstrated Ministries, a 32-day boot camp, are facing aggravated assault charges.

The two are accused of tying the girl to the van with a rope.

Both remained in Nueces County Jail late Friday on $100,000 bond each.

A call to Love Demonstrated Ministries wasn't immediately returned.

No listing was found for Bassitt. An answering machine at a listing for Flowers cut off during an attempt to leave a message.

The girl's mother gave investigators photos of her daughter's injuries. The photos were taken at a hospital.
