The Columbia Police Department arrested a man after investigating a child abuse complaint regarding a four-week-old infant.
The investigation began on February 6, after officers responded to T.J. Samson Columbia Hospital where a baby was brought in with a serious injury.
The infant was then flown to Norton Children’s Hospital in Louisville, where the child was later found to have multiple broken bones including a fractured skull.
On February 8, the infant’s father, 19-year-old Steven Powell, was in custody where he was charged with first-degree criminal abuse to a child under 12 years old.
The investigation is ongoing with more charges and arrests possible.
