PEORIA, Ill. – He was supposed to go to trial Monday; but instead, a Hanna City man will go to prison after pleading guilty to severely injuring his then-two-month-old child.
Peoria County Circuit Court records indicate Alexander King, 21, pleaded guilty to a count of Aggravated Battery, and as part of a deal reached, he was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison.
King was arrested January second, after Peoria County Sheriffs Deputies were called to a local hospital, where the boy had been taken with what were described as serious injuries.
It was learned the baby suffered a skull fracture.
King must serve 85 percent of his sentence before he can be considered for release.
He got credit for 195 days already served in jail.
