GRAND RIVER, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa father is facing charges after authorities found his infant child unresponsive.

The Decatur County Sheriff’s Office says they received a report around noon Monday that a 3-month-old child was having trouble breathing. When emergency crews arrived at the Grand River home they found the infant was unresponsive. The child was taken to a Decatur County hospital and later air-lifted to a Des Moines hospital.

Officials say the child remains on life support.

The infant’s father, 25-year-old Joshua Guill, has been charged with child endangerment causing serious injury. He is being held at the Decatur County Jail.

An attorney for Guill did not immediately respond to a phone message.

Officials did not provide further details about the incident.
