ATLANTA - Authorities in Fulton County are awaiting word on whether a 19-year-old charged with beating his 3-year-old daughter has waived extradition from Wisconsin.

Fulton County authorities say Donald Franklin Jr. was arrested in October after paramedics responded to a 911 call. He faces charges that include attempted murder, cruelty to children and aggravated battery.

Fulton County Police Detective Melissa Parker says the girl had a swollen forehead and scratch marks.

Franklin was released on $10,000 bond. U.S. Marshals in Milwaukee say Franklin was arrested there on Thursday.

Fulton County sheriff's office spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan says if Franklin fights extradition, the county may seek a goveor's warrant to retu him to Georgia.
