SUN TIMES MEDIA WIRE - A Lake Villa Township man is facing multiple charges after allegedly biting his 10-month-old daughter.

The Lake County sheriff's office said Daniel K. Martin, 31, is charged with felony aggravated battery to a child and two counts of domestic battery.

Sheriff's responded to a DCFS notice about possible child abuse at a residence in the 38800 block of North Cedar Crest Drive on March 11, authorities said. Upon arrival, they met with a family member and evaluated the child.

His next court appearance is scheduled for March 18 at 9 a.m.
