A St. Joseph man has been charged in Buchanan County from an incident that took place last year after an infant was allegedly unresponsive for around 5 hours before medical attention was sought.

Malachi Johnson, 39 was charged March 30 with a felony for endangering the welfare of a child.  Johnson was arrested Tuesday on a warrant.

According to court documents, on Aug. 11, 2015 Johnson failed to seek medical attention in a timely manner for a 5-month-old after the child became unresponsive.

“The child remained unresponsive for approximately 5 hours before the defendant took the child to the hospital,” Detective Dustin Robinson with the St. Joseph Police Department said. “Hospital records indicate the child victim had injuries consisting of swelling to the brain, bleeding to the back of eyes, and bruising to the chest and back caused by violent trauma to the head and body.”

Bail for Johnson has been set at $25,000. A preliminary hearing has been set for May 20.
