Jacob Crews, 33, was arrested Thursday.
He is accused of killing his son, Arlo Crews, while committing a felonious assault on May 11.

While en route, they received an update that the baby was not breathing.
Upon arrival, one officer immediately started performing CPR before running the baby out to first responders.
