BOSSIER CITY, La. - Bossier City police have arrested a man after his infant daughter was hospitalized overnight with critical injuries consistent with shaken baby syndrome.

Sean Christopher Morton, 27, of Bossier City faces a charge of second degree cruelty to a juvenile after staff with Willis-Knighton Bossier contacted the Bossier City Police Department just after 1 a.m. Saturday regarding a 3-month old baby that was brought into the emergency room.
