Ely, Nev. • A Nevada man has been arrested in Utah in connection with the death of his 3-month-old son.

Michael Curtis of McGill is being held in Salt Lake County Jail without bail as he awaits extradition hearings to return him to Nevada.

Curtis, 34, was arrested in Salt Lake City on Dec. 15, the same day his son died at Primary Children's Hospital.

White Pine County sheriff's deputies say an arrest warrant for open murder and child abuse was issued for Curtis after an investigation found the child suffered injuries to his brain, abdomen, rib cage and legs.

The Ely Times reported deputies responded Nov. 25 to an Ely hospital where the child was initially taken with a head injury.

The infant was later transferred to the Utah hospital.
