Jonesboro father looks like a crime debt


Jonesboro, Ark.-a Jonesboro father faces a battery charge for crimes after the police said that a two-month-old baby in his care was seriously injured.

On May 16, the division of Arkansa's crimes against children was informed about a two -month -old baby, which had been flown to Little Rock with a hemorrhage. CACD investigator from Little Rock reacted to the hospital and contacted the doctors and the child. The doctors said that he had an acute subdural hematoma and a subarachnoid bleeding of the brain with some recent and some older injuries. He also had a blue spot with his jawbone and his stomach.

Little Rock investigator spoke to father Michael Robinson (23) from Jonesboro. Robinson explained that the baby had woken up and that he hopped the baby on his lap. While he hopped and patted the child, the father said that the baby put a loud screeching and spit on, then it was difficult to breathe.

Later in the interview, Robinson said that he probably praised the baby too hard and shaken it too hard. He also explained that he was stressed and was very tired and could not remember how hard he trembled and patted him.

When Robinson was asked about the bruise on the baby's chin, he said he held him on his face as he tried to overfores him, and probably pressed too hard. Robinson said he was alone with the baby.

An arrest warrant was signed by judge David Boling. Later in the morning, the investigators went to the DHS office, where they knew that Robinson had a meeting and arrested him because of the first degree bitch, a crime in class B, which was punished at 5 to 20 years in prison.

After Robinson had read his Miranda rights, he told the police that he shaken the baby too hard and crashed and showed how the baby's little head bounced around, said the affidavit.

Robinson appeared on Wednesday in front of the district judge of the District Court of Craighead County, Tommy Fowler, because of his hearing. The judge determined a deposit at 150,000 US dollars in cash or a guarantee and also not ordered contact with the child. Family members told the judge that the child was still in the hospital.

His next court date is June 27th.

All suspects are innocent until they have been proven in court.
