A Pike County man has been jailed for battering his one year old son.

State Police report that 29-year-old David Huffer was watching his son at their  Velpen home on August 15th.

A few days later, State Police Detective Brad Chandler received information about a boy with severe bruising on the side of his face.  After an investigation it was determined that Huffer was playing video games while the child was napping.  Huffer allegedly battered the boy when he woke up and started to cry.  The mother was not home at the time.

Huffer was arrested on a warrant at 4 on Thursday afternoon and is being held at the Pike County Jail.
