FIRST REPORT
Miami County deputies are on the lookout Saturday for a man accused of causing injuries to a 2-year-old girl.
The Miami County Sheriff’s Office is asking for public’s help in locating Todd Clark, 28, of Bradford.
Clark is wanted on suspicion of domestic violence and felonious assault.
The alleged victim is the 2-year-old daughter of his girlfriend, according to Sgt. Todd Tennant.
Clark was left to care for the toddler while her mother was at work.
Tennant said when the mother returned home, she found her daughter with facial bruises and head injuries.
The child was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital in serious condition.
Hospital staff called children services because of the nature of the injuries and children services contacted the sheriff’s office.
Tennant said Clark blamed the injuries on a box spring that fell on the child.
Clark is driving a black Pontiac Sunfire with 30-day tags.
If you have information about his whereabouts, the sheriff’s office asks that you call 911 the dispatch center at (937) 440-9911.
