NACOGDOCHES — A 17-year-old Nacogdoches High School student was arrested Thursday at the school on a grand jury indictment for injury to a child after police say he scalded a then 12-day-old baby in water. Kendrick Tarver reportedly gave his daughter a bath in water hot enough to give her second-degree burns over 25 percent of her body, NPD Sgt. Greg Sowell has said in previously published articles. According to KETK and the Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel, the incident happened the night of July 27 in the 800 block of Jordan Street.
