Fayette man jailed on child abuse charges involving 2-year-old
A 29-year-old Fayette County man has been jailed for allegedly abusing a young child, state police at Uniontown said.
The suspect, Dustin R. Lilley of Connellsville, is accused of injuring a 2-year-old child in Bullskin Township, police said. The child had to be treated at Children’s Hospital pf Pittsburgh.
Lilley was arrested Sept. 8 on two counts of aggravated assault on a child, simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person.
He was placed in the Fayette County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bond. Lilley faces a preliminary hearing Sept. 22 before District Judge Ronald Haggerty Jr. of Connellsville.
Additional details were not available.
Lilley’s attorney, Brian W. Sichko of Pittsburgh, could not be reached for comment Saturday.
