Lenny Haskins (LVMPD)LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
A man wanted in several states for a variety of charges has been arrested in Las Vegas in connection with the death of a child.
Lenny Haskins, 31, of Las Vegas, was arrested September 11 and charged with one count of child neglect with substantial bodily harm.
Back on September 5, Metro police received a call from medical personnel about a child who appeared to be a victim of drowning. That child was being treated in a shopping center parking lot at the intersection of Spring Mountain and Fort Apache roads. The little girl was later pronounced dead at Summerlin Hospital.
Police determined that the child had been in a backyard swimming pool on Prairie Dove Avenue. Several adults placed the 1-and-a-half-year-old child in a vehicle and headed to a hospital.
However, the adults pulled into the shopping center parking lot and called for medical assistance.
A warrant for Haskins' arrest was issued and he was taken into custody by Metro's Criminal Apprehension Team.
Haskins has fugitive warrants from California for assault and parole violation, Virginia for assault and prostitution charges, and Texas for larceny charges.
