A Paris, Texas, father has been charged with attempted capital murder after he allegedly gave his infant child gasoline to drink, police say.

The Paris Police Department told Fox News Digital 24-year-old Edgar James Bridgemon was also charged with evading arrest.

On Saturday, officers responded to the 1300 block of Pine Bluff Street to help Paris Emergency Services.

He was arrested for attempted capital murder and later processed and jailed.

A judge set Bridgemon’s bond at $255,000 — $250,000 for attempted capital murder and $5,000 for evading arrest.
