HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Court records show a Madison County Judge set bond at $1 million for a man charged with murder and aggravated child abuse in the death of an infant.
Victavious Tarez Dennis, 24, was charged with aggravated child abuse on May 8 after officers responded to a local hospital following reports that an infant had been injured.
The department told News 19 that the infant who suffered critical injuries and was being treated at the hospital later died from those injuries. Dennis was then charged with murder.
Dennis appeared in court Tuesday for an Aniah’s Law hearing and a preliminary hearing. Following that hearing, Madison County District Judge set Dennis’s bond at $1 million.
If he does post bond, Dennis will have to be electronically monitored by authorities and have no contact with the siblings of the victim.
Court documents say Dennis was “too aggressive with [the] child [and] dropped her on her head.” The document says the infant sustained serious physical injuries from the drop, causing “trauma to her brain and brain bleed.” Police said the investigation determined that Dennis was alone with the infant in his home when the injuries occurred.
The post Judge sets $1M bond for Huntsville man charged in infant’s death appeared first on WHNT.
