OWASSO, Okla. (AP) — A man wanted for the July death of a 10-month-old Owasso girl has been arrested in Kansas.
Owasso Police Chief Scott Chambless says the suspect was arrested Thursday in Hutchinson, Kansas. Court records do not show that formal charges have been filed.
Chambless says the infant was the daughter of the suspect's girlfriend. The child was taken to a hospital in Owasso on July 11 and transferred to a Tulsa hospital where she died on July 12.
Police say the child died of an apparent brain injury and that the suspect was the only adult present when the girl was injured.
