A 21-year-old Newton man faces three counts of attempted murder after police say he abused his 2-month-old daughter in multiple separate incidents. Logan G. Dick was arrested the night of Aug. 26 after the infant was brought to an emergency room for treatment and immediately placed into police protective custody.

Dick is being held in the Harvey County Detention Center on a $1.5 million bond. In addition to the three attempted murder charges, he faces counts of aggravated endangerment of a child and obstructing apprehension or prosecution. The Newton Police Department, which publicly announced the arrest on Tuesday, said the investigation remains in its early stages and additional charges are possible.
