A man is in jail after punching an 8-month-old child in the head multiple times and dropping the baby on its head, according to court documents.

Devon Watkins was arrested Saturday.

Court documents say Watkins confessed during a videotaped interview to "striking the infant victim ... multiple times about the head with his fist and dropping him on his head."

The papers say Watkins caused a head injury to the infant.

He is charged with child endangering.

Watkins is the child's guardian, according to court documents.

He is scheduled to be arraigned in court Monday morning.
