La Vega High School football standout Christopher Parr is back in jail today on a charge of injury to a child, stemming from an incident where police say he provoked a fight with a 14-year-old boy.
He is being held in the McLennan County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bond. The charge is a third-degree felony.
According to a criminal complaint affidavit filed by the Bellmead Police Department, Parr, 17, went last Wednesday to a boy’s house on Clover Street in Bellmead. The affidavit states that the boy suffered a laceration above his right eye, and contusions to his ribs from Parr kicking him while he was on the ground.
The affidavit does not state whether the boy went to the hospital as a result of his injuries.
Parr had bonded out of jail a month ago on a burglary of a habitation charge. Two months before that, prosecutors had dropped charges against Parr in an August aggravated robbery arrest.
