Tampa police arrested Limehouse, 45, at 3:10 p.m. Monday.
"He stated that he used to use a belt on the boys but they would say it didn't hurt and [the belt] did not work because they continued the same negative acts the next day," a criminal arrest affidavit states.
The boys are ages 10, 10 and 12.
Limehouse was charged with three counts of child abuse.
He remained in Orient Road Jail today on Tuesday. His bail had not been set.
