Prosecutors filed more charges today against the Bronx man whom they are investigating in connection with the death of his 3-month-old daughter in December.
Officials have already charged 20-year-old Kevin Palmer with two counts of assault in connection with a fight they say he had with the child's mother. Palmer is now also accused of drug possession after officials say they found marijuana on him during his arrest after the alleged fight.
Investigators are still determining if murder charges are warranted against either Palmer or the child's mother in the death of Annetta Taylor-Palmer.
Police say that the child died during the fight between Palmer and the child's mother.
The medical examiner is expected to deliver an autopsy report by the time Palmer is scheduled to return to court on March 1.
