BELTON, Texas (AP) – A man has been arrested in Waco on charges of injury to a child as Bell County authorities continue to investigate the December death of a 9-month-old boy.

A justice of the peace recommended Friday holding John David Clark on $650,000 bond.

Clark was identified as the boyfriend of the mother of Weston Lyle Marthers, of Little River-Academy. Clark brought the infant to a Temple hospital Nov. 30. The child died days later and Sheriff Eddy Lange said an autopsy determined the death a homicide caused by blunt head trauma.

The Temple Daily Telegram reported (http://bit.ly/1S1n5OP ) Lange in December said the boy’s mother was at work when Clark took her son to the hospital.

Medical examiners described the injury as worse than if he fell from a two-story building.
