LAKELAND - A 29-year-old man was charged today with inflicting life-threatening injuries on his 7-month-old stepson, officers said.
Ryan Joe Clarke was charged with attempted felony murder and aggravated child abuse, Lakeland police said. He was taken into custody this afternoon in Orlando, where he lives, Lakeland police said.
"The investigation indicated that the suspect intentionally inflicted injuries on the infant while he was in his care," police said in a statement.
Investigators say the child's grandmother, Bridgit Ward, who is the child's legal guardian, came home from work Saturday to find the baby not breathing in the care of his stepfather.
Outside police headquarters in downtown Lakeland today the child's mother, Rian Basarich, said her son, Mark Edward Ward, has a fractured skull. "They found out that his skull had been bashed in, and he's in a coma," Basarich said. "I'm afraid he's not going to make it."
