CHEHALIS – The Centralia man arrested two weeks ago for allegedly giving his 6-month-old baby a cut lip when he struck him in the head for crying pleaded not guilty today.

Jon M. Parker, 28, is charged with second-degree assault of a child and remains held in the Lewis County Jail.

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office says Parker was upset and hit the child three times while holding him.

When he went before a judge today in Lewis County Superior Court, a trial was scheduled for the week of Jan. 14, according to his attorney David Arcuri.
