CHARLES CITY — A Charles City man has been charged with two counts of child endangerment resulting in serious injury after allegedly squeezing an infant and twisting its arm behind its back.

William Khuns, 21, was arrested Tuesday by the Charles City Police Department.

In August Khuns squeezed the baby’s ribs until they broke, according to the criminal complaints.

Police also allege that in September he twisted the infant’s right arm behind its back until he heard a pop.

The baby had numerous serious injuries, including nine broken bones, according to the police.

Child endangerment resulting in serious injury is a Class C felony.
