MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — A Manhattan man has been charged in the death of an infant.
Barry Disney, the senior deputy prosecutor at the Riley County attorney’s office, says 25-year-old Andrew L. Gibson was charged Monday with first-degree felony murder and child abuse. Gibson is jailed on a $500,000 bond.
He made a first appearance Monday, and a public defender was appointed to represent him.
Officers responded to a call Thursday night about an infant who wasn’t breathing. Efforts to revive the infant weren’t successful, and the child was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Police didn’t immediately release the name of the baby.
