Authorities in Hot Springs have charged a
man with capital murder in the death of a 15-month-old boy.
Twenty-three-year-old Sean A. Michaud of Hot Springs was
initially charged with first-degree battery but the charge was
upgraded Tuesday after the baby died.
Authorities were called February fifth to a residence, where the
baby`s mother was holding the unresponsive baby Ashton O. Bass. The
baby died Friday. An autopsy revealed the death was caused by head
and neck trauma.
Prosecutors yesterday upgraded the count against Michaud to
capital murder.
Sheriff`s Captain Larry Sanders says that NO charges are
anticipated against the mother.
