Special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation have obtained an indictment for a Fayetteville man in connection with the death of an infant earlier this year.

At the request of 17th District Attorney General Robert Carter, TBI special agents joined detectives with the Fayetteville Police Department in investigating the May 18 death of three-month-old Tony Carter. On that day, officers with the Fayetteville Police Department responded to an apartment at 1768 Winchester Highway, where they found the infant unresponsive. During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that Casey Ryan Dollar, who was babysitting the child, was the individual responsible for the death of the infant.

On Tuesday, the Lincoln County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging Dollar, 20, with one count of second-degree murder. On Tuesday night, Dollar was arrested and booked into the Lincoln County Jail, where he is being held on a $150,000 bond.
