A New Jersey police officer was arrested Wednesday in connection with the death of his 3-month-old daughter last year. Daniel Bannister, 31, an officer with the Ewing Township Police Department, faces a murder charge in what prosecutors called an "ongoing pattern of abuse" and the December 2018 death of Hailey Bannister.
