WARREN, Ohio - A Youngstown man has been sentenced after pleading guilty to injuring his 2-month-old baby.

Christopher Elliott, 21, pleaded guilty to child endangering on Monday during a hearing in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.

Elliott was immediately sentenced to two years in prison.

Elliott was arrested in October after Warren Police Detectives say a family member took the baby to Akron Children's Hospital in Boardman because the infant was acting strange. That's when the baby was found with broken bones. Investigators think the alleged abuse happened over a period of time since there were healing ribs and fresh breaks.
