A man was arrested after police say he bit his wife's forehead and injured a child.

Timothy Shane Fields, 29, has been charged with Injury to a Child (Family Violence), a State Jail Felony.

According to the Odessa Police Department, an Injury to a Child report was made with their department on November 28th.

The complainant who filed the report told police that her common-law husband, identified as Fields, had bit her in the forehead and pushed her to the ground after the two got into an argument.

According to police, Fields then pinned her down and placed his hands over her throat. At that time the woman's 13-year-old daughter tried to push Fields off, but was pushed instead.

The push caused the girl to hurt her right leg, according to OPD.

Detectives then obtained a warrant for Fields, who was charged on Saturday.
