Darvin Flores Caballeros, 20, accused of abandoning a newborn baby in the snow shortly after viciously attacking the child’s mother has been arrested in Florida.
Flores Caballeros will be extradited back to Virginia to face one count each of malicious wounding, strangulation, assault and battery on a family member and petit larceny, as well as two counts of child endangerment.
An investigation revealed that Flores Caballeros allegedly assaulted and strangled a mother. During the “fight,” police said Flores Caballeros caused the woman to drop her 13-day-old infant to the ground. Flores Caballeros scooped up the child and fled the area on foot with the baby in tow before officers arrived at the scene. He then abandoned the baby, authorities said.
“A Good Samaritan found the infant left in a pile of snow,” the sheriff’s office wrote in the release. “The victim was hospitalized with serious injuries after the attack.”
