WATERLOO, Iowa --- A Waterloo man has been arrested for allegedly breaking bones while beating his son.
Police arrested Antiwan Emanual Curry, 41, of 609 Stokes Drive, for two counts of felony child endangerment on Monday after finding him hiding in the attic of an East Mullan Avenue home, court records state.
School officials called police Monday about possible child abuse involving Curry's 11-year-old son. The boy was taken to Allen Hospital, and doctors found a number of injuries including bruises, lacerations and a fracture to a right eye bone.
The bone injury allegedly came from a March 7 incident after the boy got in trouble at school, and Curry allegedly punched him, records state.
The boy told his father he had blurred vision from the assault, but the father allegedly declined to get him medical attention, records state.
Investigators also allege Curry struck his son about 10 times with an audio/video cable on March 17.
Curry was taken to the Black Hawk County Jail, and bond was set at $200,000.
One of the charges is a Class C felony, which alleges Curry caused serious injury, and carries up to 10 years in prison upon conviction.
The other is a Class D felony, which alleges he used unreasonable force and is punishable by up to five years in prison.
