A 36-year-old father accused of throwing his 3-month-old daughter against a wall because she was crying is facing new charges.
Robert Tarkowski, of South Main Street in Moosup, was first arrested March 28 after his infant daughter suffered six skull fractures and a broken wrist. The baby's grandmother identified Tarkowsky as the father.
He was charged with first-degre assault, risk of injury to a minor and first-degree reckless endangerment.
Tarkowski was due in court Friday, but police said he never showed. Officers re-arrested him Friday evening and charged him with failure to appear.
The baby has since been released from the hospital to the custody of other family members, and a protective order was issued to keep Tarkowski away from her.
