WPD officers arrest man for child abuse

Detectives from the Woodland Police Department arrested Jesus Ruiz Garcia with probable cause of felony child abuse.
The arrest was made after Garcia and his girlfriend took their seven-week-old child into Woodland Memorial Hospital's emergency room on Friday at 12:30 a.m. with difficulty breathing.
Around 4:30 a.m. the child was transferred to the UC Davis Medical Center where the infant was examined and found to be suffering from severe brain damage, suspected to be a result of a recent traumatic injury.
Sgt. Dan Letamendi said the child was on life support late Friday night and was not expected to survive.
Garcia, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, is considered to be a flight risk and is being held without bail at the Monroe Detention Center, Letamendi added.
