Las Vegas police arrested a man Sunday after a toddler in his care went to a hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.
Craig J. Dickens, 34, faces two counts of child abuse with substantial bodily harm.
Dickens is being held at the Clark County Detention Center on $20,000 bail.
At 2:40 a.m., police responded to reports that an 18-month-old had fallen out of bed and suffered serious injuries at Siegel Suites.
The child was taken to Sunrise hospital.
Detectives said the explanation offered by Dickens did not account for the severity of the child’s injuries.
The relationship between the child and the man was unclear.
A neighbor said she reported possible abuse to security at Siegel Suites in July after overhearing “blood-curdling screams” of a child.
