LOUISVILLE, Ohio — An Ohio man reportedly is charged with felony child endangering after police say he tattooed a letter "A'' on the rear of a 1-year-old girl.

The Repository newspaper reports that 20-year-old Lee Deitrick was arraigned yesterday in municipal court in Canton.

Authorities say the child had been visiting Deitrick's home and there's no evidence the girl's mother gave him permission to tattoo the child. It's not clear what the letter "A'' signifies.

Deitrick's grandmother calls the tattoo "a wee-little hairline" and says there's hardly anything left of it. The police chief in Louisville says the tattoo is smaller than a dime.

Bond for Deitrick has been set at $250,000. If convicted, he could get up to five years in prison.
