Baby’s broken leg prompts dad’s arrest

A Spokane man is accused of abusing his 2-month-old daughter. Daniel S. O’Brien, 23, appeared in Spokane County Superior Court on Monday on one count of first-degree assault of a child after doctors said the girl’s injuries, which include a broken leg, were consistent with abuse, according to the Spokane Police Department. O’Brien was arrested Friday and is in custody on $50,000 bond. “The injuries didn’t match up with any plausible explanation,” said Officer Jennifer DeRuwe. “It’s not often you find a 2-month-old with fractured bones.”
