Bond revoked for father charged with neglect of seriously injured baby
View Comments
RICHMOND, Ind. An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for a father accused of neglecting his then-4-month-old daughter, who was catastrophically injured.
Matthew J. Shaffer, 28, is wanted after his bond was revoked. Shaffer failed to appear at a Superior Court 2 hearing this week about the bond revocation, and Judge Gregory Horn revoked the bond and ordered the arrest warrant.
Shaffer and Casey Renee Miller, 27, are both charged with five counts of neglect of a dependent, one as a Level 1 felony, three as Level 3 felonies and one as a Level 6 felony. The four more serious charges resulted from injuries, including a brain injury, a fractured rib, a broken arm and retinal damage, sustained by their daughter, and the fifth charge is for failing to promptly seek medical care.
