POCATELLO — Police have arrested 26-year-old Anthony Blake Viles of Pocatello and charged him with Felony injury to a child after he allegedly beat his six-year-old son so severely Thursday, that the boy is currently at the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City on life support.
“Should the boy succumb to his injuries, the charges against his father will be upgraded and a press conference may be held at that time,” Pocatello Police Support Services Officer Dianne Brush said.
The boy’s biological mother lives in Washington with her husband, but is traveling to Salt Lake City to be with her son.
