Dalton man charged with Negligent Child Cruelty in the 2nd Degree
Dalton, GA (WDEF) – The Dalton Police Department arrested 24-year-old Brian Gregory Allen for negligent child cruelty in the 2nd degree.
Tuesday night’s arrest comes after an investigation into a head trauma that put a two and a half month old baby in the hospital earlier this month.
The baby survived the injury.
The investigation began January 4th when the Whitfield County Department of Family and Child Services contacted Dalton investigators about an infant being treated for head trauma at Children’s Hospital in Chattanooga.
Doctors called the injury non-accidental head trauma.
Allen is charged with negligent child cruelty in the 2nd degree because the investigation found that he did not handle the baby with sufficient care, but investigators do not believe that there was any intent on Allen’s part to harm the baby.
