Highlands Ranch man arrested on suspicion of child abuse of infant

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office arrested a 33-year-old man on child abuse charges after he allegedly injuring his three-month-old infant.

Detectives from the sheriff’s office’s Special Victims Unit were contacted by a local hospital after a three-month-old child was brought in with serious injuries on March 6. Officials at the hospital believed that one of the parents may have harmed the child, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Following the investigation, deputies arrested Bryan Cunningham on Wednesday on suspicion of child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury — a Class 3 felony. 

Cunningham is currently in custody at the Douglas County Detention Facility on a $50,000 bond. Official charges will be determined by the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
