(KNZA)--The arraignment for a Hiawatha man facing charges in a child abuse case has been postponed.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says the attorney for 25-year-old Frankie Rodriquez Monday requested more time to review the medical documents and asked for a continuance.  His arraignment was rescheduled for December 5th.

Rodriquez was arrested in late August on one count each of aggravated battery and felony child abuse following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department and Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

The investigation was launched after a two-year-old girl was brought to the Hiawatha Community Hospital on August 26 with a severe head injury.  The child was later flown to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

Rodriquez remains in the Brown County Jail on a $500,000 bond after his motion for a bond modification was denied Monday.
