Introduction
A Miami County man has been arrested after police say he physically abused his four-month-old son.

Nursing staff told police that the four-month-old had multiple rib fractures and bruising.

Timm was arrested on March 14 and charged with two counts of felony domestic battery resulting in serious bodily injury to a person under 14-years-old, one count of felony domestic battery resulting in bodily injury to a person under 14-years-old, and one count of felony neglect of a dependent.
