Joshua George, 39, is being held at the North Central Regional Jail. According to local CBS affiliate WDTV, the boy was taken to J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown on July 26 after suffering facial swelling and loose teeth. Hospital staff suspected abuse and contacted the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

A forensic nurse told deputies that the child said his father became angry because he “would not go to sleep” after his mother read him a bedtime story.

George was arrested Sunday and remains jailed on a $100,000 cash-or-surety bond. Information about his next court appearance was not immediately available to the public.
