GRESHAM -- Police arrested a Gresham father accused of assaulting his six-week-old daughter by shaking her.

The infant’s parents took her to the hospital about a week ago. She was lethargic and wasn't eating.

Doctors suspect she suffers from Shaken Baby Syndrome. After they examined the child, police with Gresham's major crimes unit began interviewing family members.

Brandon Taylor Dinucci was arrested Friday on two counts of assault and one count of criminal mistreatment, said Sgt. Jeff Hansen with the Gresham Police Department.

“If the child continues on in this state, she won't be OK for the rest of her life. If the rest of her life ends, and they base that deemed on this injury, then the charges could be homicide as opposed to assault,” Hansen said.

Dinucci was scheduled to appear in court Monday at 2 p.m.
