WATERVILLE — A Waterville man is scheduled to appear in court in September on an allegation that he dropped his 17-month-old toddler during or after an apparent domestic argument, according to police.

Thorne Buzzard, 24, was taken to the Kennebec County Correctional Facility in Augusta after the incident, which reportedly occurred just before 10 p.m. Thursday at the home Buzzard shares with the child and the toddler’s mother, Maj. Jason Longley of the Waterville Police Department said Monday.

After the alleged incident, the toddler was taken by Waterville Rescue to MaineGeneral Medical Center’s Thayer Center for Health at 149 North St. in Waterville. Longley said the toddler was released after a full evaluation showed “what was described as a bump on the head.”

Buzzard was arrested and charged with assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He is scheduled to appear Sept. 23 at Kennebec County Superior Court in Augusta, according to Longley.

Longley said he could not provide more details, including the toddler’s gender, what led to the alleged domestic argument or whether Buzzard claimed the toddler was dropped accidentally or intentionally.

“We are not releasing any additional information as this is an active investigation and the victim is a child,” Longley wrote in an email.

A jail spokesman said Monday that Buzzard had posted $360 cash bail and was released from the facility at 6 p.m. Friday.
