Felmey is accused of killing 22-month-old Brandon Warner in a two-story, three-bedroom unit in the J building at the Commons of Fallsington last December 18. Authorities said that Felmey killed the child in the hours before an ambulance was called.
During an interview with detectives, Felmey admitted that he has anger issues while drinking, which he had done December 17 into December 18, police said.
The boy died from head trauma, according to an autopsy.
