Child dies at Bronson; man arrested, lodged

Marshall Public Safety Chief Mike Olson has confirmed that the 4-year-old girl we reported on in the July 14 Chronicle Public Safety beat who apparently suffered inflicted injuries died yesterday at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo. The girl's mother's boyfriend has been arrested and is lodged in the Calhoun County Jail awaiting arraignment Thursday.
"I can't tell you the time of arraignment as I don't know myself," said Olson late Wednesday. "I am sure it won't be an early morning arraignment as we have to meet with the Prosecutor's Office. We are not releasing any names as we are waiting for notifications of the next of kin for the family of the child and we are not releasing the name of the suspect until after arraignment."
The Marshall Police Department received assistance from the Battle Creek Police Department Crime Lab, the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department and the Michigan State Police Forensic Science Division.
