A Scott County, Indiana man was in jail Saturday morning charged in the death of toddler but police say the case isn't closed yet.

26-year-old Jason Hensley of Austin, Indiana is  a man police say is an friend of the mother's.  Hensley was arrested for murder and battery in the death of 2-year-old Jacob Lord.

He died at Kosair Children's Hospital on Wednesday night from a head injury.

His grandmother says that Hensley and Jacob’s mother had been dating for a few months.

"Even though we have made an arrest in this case, this case is not closed. 

We'll continue to investigate this and if we find anyone else is involved then we will present those charges also to the prosecutor’s office,” said Jerry Good of Indiana State Police.

Hensley is scheduled to be in a Scott County courtroom on Monday.
