A man was arrested Monday after a years-old video resurfaced on social media appearing to show he “violently slammed” an infant, according to court documents.

Ricky Casey, 23, faces charges of aggravated domestic assault and aggravated child abuse.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office was made aware of the video in July, the office said in a news release Tuesday.
