Child Abuse Arrest
On June 1,
2013, at about 6p.m, Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Dispatch received a 911 call saying
that a 4 month old male was not breathing and was turning blue. An ambulance
was dispatched and the child was taken to Sonora Regional
Medical Center
for care.
While
trying to stabilize the child, SRMC Staff noted bleeding on the brain and
suspected child abuse as the cause. A Sheriff’s Deputy responded to the
hospital and spoke with the parents and hospital staff. The baby was in
critical condition and was transported to the bay area for specialized care. Sheriff’s
Detectives responded for further investigation.
On June 5, 2013, after days of
interviews and consulting with medical staff, the baby’s father SHAHEED JAMEEL HASSAN WILLIAMS (DOB:
10-28-87) was arrested and booked into Tuolumne County Jail for felony
Child Abuse.
The child remains in critical
condition. No further information is available at this time due to the
continuing investigation.
