After an altercation with Munday Deputy Lowery found an 89 year old woman injured by Munday and a 9 month old baby that had been injured by Munday. Sheriff Slape said " It is eggregious enough to do this type of act but when you inflict this type of injuries to an elderly person and an infant then you have crossed a whole different line."
