KNOX COUNTY, Ky. (The Mountain Advocate)– A man has been arrested after he allegedly bit his 3-month-old son on the cheek.

The Mountain Advocate is reporting that 22-year-old Eric Bays, of Heidrick, told troopers that he was watching his son on Sunday and got frustrated when he didn’t know how to soothe the infant.
