Police have captured a Warren man wanted for assaulting his own four-year-old daughter.
Twenty-four-year-old Tedy Mendez is accused of beating his daughter Julia. Warren police had been searching for Mendez. He was found by the U.S. Marshals in Austintown.
Four-year-old Julia was taken by helicopter to Akron Children's Hospital where several fractures were found – along with bruising up and down both sides of her body.
Officers say the girl had heavy bruises on her face, back, arms and legs. They also said that it was not possible for Julia to harm herself in such a way, as Mendez's girlfriend told them she had.
Mendez has been charged with domestic violence in the past.
Detectives said if Tedy Mendez's girlfriend knew what was taking place and failed stop it, she could also face charges.
