Gage Anderson, 21, was arrested on Thursday and is being held on $500,000 bond in the Geary County Jail.

He was arrested after officers went to Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan to respond to a report of a severely injured child. The victim died later that day.



Police said Anderson and the child lived at the same home.
