A 27-year-old Davenport man who is charged with killing an infant in Osceola County on Monday was out on bail awaiting trial in an earlier child abuse case.
Osceola County deputies arrested Michael Joseph Reid Jr. on a charge of first-degree murder. The 4-month-old infant died Saturday as a result of his injuries, which were consistent with child abuse, investigators say.
In May, Polk County deputies arrested Reid in the abuse of a different child. Reid was charged then with aggravated child abuse, child neglect, unlawful sexual activity with a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The infant was seriously injured during the May incident, which involved a head butt, Polk deputies say.
