A Texas man was arrested on Monday after he assaulted a 14-month-old child and covered her mouth and eyes with super glue.
29-year-old Johnnie Lee Carter faces a charge of injury to a child. He has previously served time for domestic violence and was convicted for violating a protective order.
Carter had already fled by the time his wife called officers to tell them he had choked the one-year-old with one hand and punched her head and ribs with the other before putting super glue on her face.

Officers found a Crazy Glue stick on their motel room’s desk, the affidavit said, as well as a two-month-old baby underneath a pile of pillows and blankets.
The woman told police he’d covered the baby before assaulting the toddler because the infant had been crying.
Carter traveled over 230 miles west before U.S. Marshals arrested him at an El Paso motel 10 days later.
Carter was wanted for injury to a child causing serious bodily injury, which police said is a first-degree felony.
