PEORIA, Ill. – A Peoria County grand jury has indicted a Hanna City man for allegedly assaulting a baby earlier this month.
The grand jury is charging Alexander King, 21, with Aggravated Battery, a Class X felony, and Aggravated Domestic Battery, a Class Two felony.
The indictment alleges King struck or squeezed a child born this past November, causing a skull fracture.
Investigators were called to a local hospital earlier this month by the Department of Children and Family Services, when the baby was admitted there with serious injuries.
King, so far, is scheduled to be arraigned in court February 2. He’s jailed on $150,000 bond.
