Police say officers have arrested a Waterloo man after a 12-year-old driving the man’s car struck a 4-year-old boy on a bicycle. Police say 34-year-old Jesse Azbill had given the 12-year-old permission to drive the vehicle. He also told the 12 year old to say Azbill was in the car when the little boy was struck just before 1 p.m. Tuesday in Waterloo. The boy was taken to University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics in Iowa City for treatment. His name hasn’t been released. Jail records say Azbill remained in custody Thursday. He’s charged with child endangerment causing injury and serious injury by vehicle. Police aren’t certain of Azbill’s relationship with the 12-year-old boy.
