DAVIS COUNTY, Utah — The Davis County Sheriff's Office says they arrested a 35-year-old man after he allegedly beat and abused an underage member of his family.
Lee Sisneros, 35, was arrested Wednesday and is being held without bond and faces an aggravated child abuse charge.
On Feb. 11, the aunt of the victim reported the incident to the police after the victim attempted to wake Sisneros up for work when he was allegedly extremely intoxicated and agitated.
The victim told investigators that Sisneros allegedly believed they had a TV remote he was looking for and yelled at them to find the remote.
Sisneros allegedly threw a pillow at the victim, causing their head to hit the wall. Police say the attack continued with Sisneros getting up and hitting the victim several times in the face and continuing to kick them after they fell down.
The aunt, who witnessed the attack, allegedly tackled Sisneros to stop the attack and get the victim out of the room. She then took the victim to a motel before calling the police and taking the victim to the hospital.
Investigators say while at the hospital, the victim had bruises on their forehead and cheek.
