A Rainier man is facing criminal charges in connection with injuries to his 5-month-old son, injuries detectives suspect are evidence of "shaken baby syndrome."

Last Wednesday, the boy was admitted to Doernbecher Children's Hospital with head injuries. The child has since been released from the hospital and is the care of Department of Human Services.

On Tuesday, Oregon State Police arrested the boy's father, Kenneth Joseph Judkins, 27, on two counts of first-degree assault while he was at the Columbia County Courthouse on another legal-related matter.
