OLIVET, Mich. (WSYM) - An Eaton County mother has been arrested after multiple tests show her newborn baby was assaulted twice.

Taylor Prahl-Six of Olivet was arrested Friday after multiple tests at Sparrow Hospital show the baby had multiple brain bleeds and a possible skull fracture.

Eaton County Sheriff’s deputies along with investigators from Michigan Department of Health and Human Services got involved on July 3 after family members brought the newborn baby to the hospital.

Detectives were able to locate evidence and information which led to charges.

Prahl-Six remains in the Eaton County Jail.

Detectives continue to investigate.
