Updated 7:08 PM;
A teen from Athens was arrested Tuesday and charged with manslaughter in the death of a three-month-old infant that died earlier this month, according to the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s deputies responded April 8 to a home on Myrtlewood Drive in Athens on a call of an infant having trouble breathing.
The infant was taken to Athens-Limestone Hospital, where CT scans showed the baby sustained head trauma.
The infant was then taken to Children’s Hospital in Birmingham on April 9 and died the next day, the sheriff’s office said.
