CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A man turned himself in to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office Monday after an warrant was issued for his arrest charging him of child neglect resulting in injury.
The warrant for 19-year-old Khalib Grass followed a report of a possible child abuse incident involving his month-old daughter. Authorities said they were asked last Wednesday by the Charleston Area Medical Center Memorial General Hospital to investigate the infant’s injuries, which included a punctured lung and broken ribs.
The mother of the baby, 21-year-old Katelyn Berger, was previously arrested and charged with child abuse causing injury and with child neglect causing injury.
