A Washington college student was arrested in New Hampshire months after the death of a 7-year-old girl who allegedly suffered from abuse while in his care.
Demiko A. Fox, 22, was tracked down to a Hampton Inn hotel in Bow, New Hampshire where the Bow Police Department worked with members of the Joint Fugitive Task Force and the US Marshals to arrest him.
Fox, who was arrested without incident on Wednesday, is accused of abusing a 7-year-old girl who was brought to a Kirkland, Washington hospital with “no pulse and obvious signs of abuse” on April 11.
The victim died from a traumatic brain injury after spending six days on a ventilator.
Bow Police Chief Ken Miller revealed that Fox “was very cooperative” and “seemed surprised” that police came to arrest him.
“We just told him there was an active warrant out of Washington for him,” Miller said.
“We didn’t tell him for what. We were going to let the detectives from Washington take care of that.”
