Belmont man arrested after allegedly causing head injury to a one year old - Bail set at $100,000
On Monday the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) in Amity arrested Shane E. Kranock, 25 of Belmont, for Assault 1st degree (B Felony) and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. Investigators and Troopers responded to Jones Memorial Hospital in Wellsville for a one-year-old child with significant head injuries. Due to the seriousness of the injuries, the child was then transported to Golisano Children’s Hospital in Rochester. According to a press release, further investigation revealed that Kranock might have dropped the child after changing a diaper. Though some of the injuries could have been incurred by a fall, the child’s injuries are not exclusively from just a fall, the release said. Kranock was allegedly under the influence of heroin at the time of the incident.
Kranock was taken to SP Amity and processed then arraigned at the village of Belmont Court. Kranock was remanded to Allegany County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash bail and $200,000 bond. Allegany County Child Protective Services was contacted. The child is in guarded condition with possible significant brain injury.
