The 1-month-old son of Mounty Holly Springs resident James R. Brenneman, 21, was taken to the hospital in December after mulitple bruises were found on his body, the report said. Doctors discovered the fractures during the visit, according to the report.
Brenneman, 21, was arraigned on two counts each of aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
