A Parkland, Washington man is going to court after police arrested him in the death of his girlfriend’s 1-year-old daughter.

Pierce County sheriff’s deputies arrested the 23-year-old Parkland man Tuesday for investigation. Spokesman Ed Troyer says the baby was found dead Friday in her crib.

The man said he was baby-sitting the girl when she fell off a couch. The mother was at work at the time.

Troyer told the Tacoma News Tribune the autopsy showed the baby had skull fractures and blunt force trauma to the body.
