UPDATED: Infant Assault Case Adjourned Until May 16th

The case of a Barrington man charged with assault of his infant son has been adjourned until next week. Twenty-four year-old Adam Harold Hogg represented himself yesterday in Shelburne Provincial Court. He is charged with aggravated assault, failing to provide the necessities of life and criminal negligence. Last November, Mounties were called to the Roseway Hospital in Shelburne after medical staff reported a 23 day-old baby boy had suffered serious injuries. RCMP from the Southwest Nova Major Crime Unit in Chester led an 18-week investigation, which required detailed medical reports from the IWK Children’s Hospital in Halifax. He was arrested last month and has been released on conditions. The case picks back up on May 16th.
