A Warren father is expected to be arraigned today after his 1-year-old died under his care back in June.

Prosecutors say it's the father's fault and want to have him charged in his daughter's death.

The father, 23-year-old James Michael Franks, called 911 after his daughter became unresponsive. Franks says he fell down the stairs and the baby was injured, but the medical examiner is disputing that claim. 

The father is already behind bars. Police say they found meth in the home when they responded for the emergency.
