BILLINGS - A 21-year-old Billings man is charged with assaulting his 5-month-old daughter earlier this year.

Christopher Lowman was arrested early Thursday and appeared in Justice Court later in the day. His bail was set at $50,000 and his District Court arraignment on the felony aggravated assault charge is scheduled for Monday.

The investigation into Lowman began in mid-August after his daughter was brought to the hospital with suspicious injuries.

Prosecutors say the girl suffered a crushing injury to her leg. Medical tests revealed the child also had previous injuries that included a fractured skull, fractured ribs, a fractured arm, bruises and abrasions.
