LOUISVILLE, Ohio - A Stark County man is facing a felony child endangering charge for allegedly tattooing a 1-year-old girl, Fox 8 News reports.

Lee Deitrick, 20, is accused of putting the non-removable tattoo on the child's backside while she was visiting his house with a female relative in November. Deitrick is not the girl's father.

Louisville Police Chief Andy Turowski tells Fox 8 News that Deitrick was taken to the Stark County Jail under a probation hold. If he's convicted for the third-degree felony, he could get up to five years behind bars.

Deitrick was arraigned Wednesday in Canton Municipal Court.
