SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say the Sioux City parents of a 5-month-old boy have been arrested and charged after the baby suffered a skull fracture. The Sioux City Journal reports 23-year-old Aaron Bernard Tucker and 25-year-old Kara Danielle Jackson are both charged with felony child endangerment.

According to a criminal complaint, the baby was admitted to a Sioux City hospital’s emergency room last Thursday and was diagnosed with a fractured skull on his head’s right side. Both Tucker and Jackson accused the other of dropping the child on separate occasions.  The child has been taken into custody by Child Protective Services.
