A Plattsburgh man is
facing additional charges for allegedly assaulting his former
girlfriend’s infant son.
26 year-old Anthony
Ciccone was arrested in May of last year for seriously injuring the
four month old boy, who suffered multiple fractures and had to be
hospitalized.
He had been indicted
for beating and trying to suffocate the child and was facing counts
of first-degree assault, a felony and endangering the welfare of a
child, a misdemeanor.
A new indictment was
returned this week that included the original charges and added
three new counts of second-degree assault, according to the
Plattsburgh Press-Republican.
Ciccone appeared in
Clinton County Court on Monday and pleaded not guilty to the
charges. He claims the boy was injured accidentally.
Ciccone was sent back
to the county jail on $15,000 cash bail and $30,000 bond.
A court conference is
scheduled for March 27.
