Man Arrested After Baby is Hospitalized in Critical Condition - Saturday, May 30, 2009 at 11:00PM EST
WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- Wilkes-Barre police have a horrendous case of child abuse on their hands. Court papers say a 1-year-old baby girl is close to being brain dead, the result of some sort of beating.
Wilkes-Barre police say 35-year-old Lamont Cherry is responsible. They say he's the one who beat 1-year-old Zaeyeah McCloee. We're told Children & Youth responded to 196 Carlisle Street on Friday. They found the baby unresponsive.
Court papers claim cherry couldn't account for how the baby ended up in such bad shape. Cherry maintains he's innocent.
McCloee is on critical life support at Geisinger Danville. Cherry is in jail on $75,000 bail. | |
