A 10-week-old child was taken to Wyoming County Community Hospital by ambulance and after being evaluated was found to have a broken leg. The break was confirmed after the child was transferred to Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo.
Salamone was arraigned in Village Court and committed to Wyoming County Jail with bail set at $50,000. He is to return to court Sept. 13.
In March, Salamone was charged with torturing/injuring an animal under state Agriculture and Markets Law after he was seen on home security cameras picking up a 10-month-old female puppy and throwing her. The dog was not injured.
