Carlsbad police: man accused in death of 8-year-old daughter

CARLSBAD, Ariz. (AP) — Police in Carlsbad say a man has been arrested in connection with the death of his 8-year-old daughter. Police say they received information Saturday afternoon about the death of a child at a Carlsbad home. Officers located the deceased child, but didn't release any information on how she died. They say Juan Lerma was taken into custody and was being held on suspicion of abuse of a child resulting in death, tampering with evidence and intimidation of a witness. It was unclear Sunday if Lerma has a lawyer yet who can speak on his behalf.
