Authorities say a 20-year-old Fort Carson soldier has been arrested for the death of his 10-month-old stepson.
Police reported Saturday that Pfc. Zachary Doggett was arrested on suspicion of child abuse resulting in death, a class-two felony. Officers were dispatched to a home in southeastern Colorado Springs on Friday night to a report of a baby that was unconscious but breathing. The infant was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Police say the child had numerous bruises on his torso and around the face, as well as a possible skull fracture and bleeding on the brain.
The Gazette (http://bit.ly/MSuRKu ) reports Fort Carson confirmed Doggett serves on the 1st Brigade Combat Team.
