Texarkana, Texas police have arrested 24-year-old Cedric Kelley Jr. on a charge of Injury to a Child with Serious Bodily Injury.

Police say the arrest follows an investigation into injuries suffered by a two-month-old boy. The child was taken to Christus St. Michael Thursday morning after experiencing breathing problems and was later transferred to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth.

Doctors determined the child had suffered a skull fracture and other life-threatening injuries that were non-accidental.

Police say the injuries occurred while the child was home alone with Kelley, his father.

Kelley was booked into the Bi-State Jail. Bond has not been set.
