West Hazelton - As investigators await the autopsy results of a three-month old baby from Luzerne County, a man connected
to that family has been arrested on unrelated charges.
Alan Leitzel Jr. was arrested earlier today for violating parole for theft charges.
Leitzel is the boyfriend of Tiffany Simmons.
Yesterday, Tiffany rushed her son, Xavier Simmons to the hospital with serious injuries.
He died just before noon Tuesday. Relatives of the baby say his immediate family did not provide the infant with safe living conditions.
Investigators are questioning the family, but with autospy results expected tomorrow morning, they have not made any arrests in connection to the baby's death.
