DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Police say an 18-year-old Des Moines man has been arrested and charged after officials determined he had beaten his 5-month-old son for weeks, causing severe injuries to the baby. The Des Moines Register reports that Dominick Joseph Clausi was charged Tuesday with multiple counts of child endangerment after his infant son was sent to a hospital with life-threatening injuries that include skull fractures, a brain bleed and bruising.

Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek says investigators believe Clausi beat and shook the baby, forced his face into a pillow and, at one point, bit the infant. Police were notified of the allegations Dec. 7. Clausi remained in the Polk County Jail on Wednesday.

Pornographic photographs have shown up in the clothing of at least two retail outlets in Atlantic, and Police are trying to figure out who placed them in coat pockets and gloves being sold for women and children. According to Atlantic Police Chief Dave Erickson, a customer at the Orscheln Farm and Home Store was trying on a pair of gloves last Friday, when she found a picture of man’s genitals inside the gloves. Officers arrived on scene found other such pictures hidden only in women and children’s gloves and coat pockets.

Other images were found in clothing at the Walmart in Atlantic. Altogether, more than 20 images have been found so far. Authorities and Walmart officials are searching through images from nearly 60 surveillance cameras in hopes of finding the person responsible. There are no security camera’s at Orscheln’s with recording capability.

If identified and caught, the perpetrator faces dissemination of pornographic material charges.
