LAKEWOOD — A township man is charged with endangering the welfare of a child after he left his 7-month-old child alone at the baby’s mother’s home on Thursday.

Police responded to call Thursday from a woman reporting she fled her South Clover Street home after the father of her 7-month-old child arrived at the home to return the infant from a scheduled visitation and the pair began to argue, explained police Detective Capt. Paul Daly. The man, identified as Eric V. Sunnerville, 33, of Morris Avenue, became violent and was breaking things inside the house, Daly said.

The woman walked to the nearby Washington Square shopping center, where she called police, Daly said.

When police arrive at the South Clover Street residence to investigate, they found the front door unlocked, the baby strapped into a baby bouncer and no sign of Sunnerville , Daly said.

Sunnerville was arrested a brief time later, and is being held in the Ocean County Jail in Toms River on $15,000 full cash bail.
