LAKELAND, FL -- Orlando Police have arrested the stepfather of a critically injured infant.
Lakeland Police said earlier that they were investigating the stepfather of 7-month-old Mark Ward after the infant was critically injured.
The boy reportedly suffered a cracked skull.
Rian Basarich, the boy's mother, says the 7-month-old was at his grandmother's home in Lakeland, being watched by his stepfather, 29-year-old Ryan Clarke, on Saturday.
"He says he dropped him on accident on the kitchen floor," said Basarich.
She also says the stepfather has never been violent.
When Basarich arrived at Tampa General Hospital, she was told her son's chances of survival were very grim. Officials at Tampa General also said the infants injures weren't consistent with those usually found in a fall.
"I found out that his skull had been bashed in and he's in a coma," said Basarich.
