MARYSVILLE, Wash. - Marysville Police detectives arrested a Snohomish County man in the death of a 14-month-old infant last May.
James Fryberg, 20, surrendered to detectives Tuesday afternoon after communication took place between police and Fryberg's attorney.
On May 14, police detectives found a dead infant in a Marysville apartment.
Fryberg said the infant had taken a fall down the stairs in the apartment the previous evening while in his care.
On-scene detectives were initially suspicious as the injuries to the child were not consistent with having fallen down carpeted stairs. The responding Snohomish County Medical Examiner investigator shared the same concerns.
An autopsy conducted on the infant indicated the manner of death as homicide.
Fryberg has been booked at the Snohomish County Jail.
