A man was arrested after his 3-month-old child was found with extensive injuries believed to be a result of child abuse, according to the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office.

 On August 24, deputies received a report of a domestic case where a child was being assaulted by her father. Deputies arrived on the scene and found a witness that said they saw the father choking the child, deputies say.

The baby had visible bite marks on her lip, nose, ear, and other locations on her body, the report states.

The father, 20-year-old Justin Paige Shoemake, was arrested. The child was transported to the hospital for evaluation.

Upon evaluation at the hospital, she was found to have numerous serious injuries resulting from extensive physical abuse, according to deputies.

The Caldwell County Department of Social Services was contacted and took custody of the child. Shoemake was charged with one count felony child abuse, one count assault on a child under twelve, and one count misdemeanor child abuse. He is currently being held at the Caldwell County Detention Facility under a $200,000 secured bond. The case is still under investigation and there are more charges pending. ..
