Baby Justice's Father Faces More Unrelated Charges

WOODLAND (CBS13) — The father of the infant found dead in a Yolo County slough is facing new charges that are unrelated to the child's death.

Frank Rees spoke briefly to CBS13 on his way into the Yolo County Courthouse on Monday. Walking in, he says he didn't know what to expect.

"I just heard about the DA may be pressing new charges I don't know," he said.

The new charges are unrelated to the death of Baby Justice Rees, who was found dead in a slough near Knights Landing. His mother, Samantha Green, faces a murder charge in the infant's death.

Frank Rees faced unrelated charges of possession of methamphetamine and ammunition, to which he pleaded not guilty. He's now also facing a new charge of driving without a license.

"I'm stressed out you know," he said.

Rees was first arrested shortly after Baby Justice's death on unrelated misdemeanor driving under the influence and driving without a license warrants. He pleaded no contest.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 11.
