Abilene police arrest man on injury to a child charges
Abilene police arrested a man for an alleged injury to a child Thursday morning after responding to reports of a disturbance in the 3200 block of Rolling Green Drive.
Police went to an apartment and spoke to the suspect, who according to reports "originally stated there was just an argument," and that his wife and children had left.
When told there had been accusations of assault, the suspect told police "the act was more playful than assaultive," according to reports.
The man was arrested, however, and taken to jail.
The child's mother provided police with a statement indicating she wanted to press charges on behalf of the juvenile victim and requested an emergency protective order.
