>> On May 10th, 2024, police responded to
Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet,
Illinois after a 3-month-old infant was
brought in with a serious arm injury.
Doctors discovered the child had a
broken arm and medical records indicated
the baby had also experienced several
rib fractures that were in various
stages of healing. Investigators spoke
with the child's parents who told
officers the infant had been fussy
overnight and began crying when the arm
was touched early that morning.
Authorities later identified the baby's
father, a 23-year-old man from Chicago,
as the suspect in the case. His arrest
was later highlighted by the Joliet
Police Department during a large
enforcement effort known as Operation

aggravated battery to a small child, a
serious felony offense. During a court
hearing, the judge granted the
prosecution's request to deny pretrial
release, ruling that the defendant met
the legal standard to remain in custody.
As a result, he was ordered to remain
held in the Will County Jail while the
case moves forward through the court
system. Want to watch more videos like
