In a disturbing incident in Michigan, a man faces serious charges after allegedly assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, resulting in her sustaining a brain bleed. Instead of seeking immediate medical attention, he reportedly drove her to a Walmart.

Dylan Lee Haddix, 29, is currently held at the Bay County Jail following his arrest on December 29, 2025. As reported by MLive, the situation unfolded when police were called to a Bay City emergency room where a 39-year-old woman was admitted with severe injuries, including a brain bleed and a possible neck fracture. Alarmingly, she was five months pregnant at the time.

Authorities encountered Haddix in the emergency room’s waiting area. He narrated that he witnessed his girlfriend, who was carrying their toddler, attempting to leave their residence. Haddix claimed he instructed her to return indoors, during which she allegedly fell and struck her head against a wall corner.

Haddix told police that he realized something was amiss when she began slurring her speech, indicating a potential head injury. Despite these signs, he chose to drive her to a Walmart for Tylenol rather than seeking immediate medical help. It was only at her insistence that they should go to a hospital that he reconsidered.

The situation escalated when the woman suffered a seizure while still in the vehicle upon their return home, prompting Haddix to finally call 911 for emergency assistance.

Medical staff told police that the woman had a large contusion the size of a baseball on the right side of her forehead. She had several bruises on her neck and arms. When police told Haddix about those injuries, he said he did not know how they happened.

The woman eventually lost consciousness and was transported to Hurley Medical Center for more intensive treatment.

Police continued their interview with Haddix at the Bay County Law Enforcement Center. He explained that a motorcycle crash in 2014 left him with memory issues as a result of a traumatic brain injury. According to police, Haddix said the couple were arguing over the woman’s use of a gambling app. Haddix allegedly admitted that he slammed his girlfriend’s head into a wall, then again on the floor while telling her, “I told you time and time again, don’t mess with my money.”

Haddix told police he brought his girlfriend to Walmart to get Tylenol because “I was in the helping mood and I like helping people,” adding, “I didn’t mean for this to happen and I feel terrible.”

According to police, the woman regained consciousness the next day and told them, “Dylan got mad about the baby crying and he kind of pushed me.” They asked her about the gambling app, and she denied using one, but told police that Haddix never let her explain. She told police that Haddix allegedly attacked her while she was holding their toddler.

The woman told police that Haddix had allegedly been violent toward her about 10 times, including months before when she was 10 weeks pregnant.

When police told Haddix that he was being arrested for assault, he reportedly told them he “wasn’t allowed to go to jail due to a brace that was on his leg.” He allegedly fought with officers while they tried to handcuff him, and he was charged with assault while resisting arrest.

Haddix was booked into the Bay County Jail on $50,000 bond, and he remains in custody according to online jail records. He is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 14.

The couple’s son was taken into custody by Children’s Protective Services. He was reunited with his mother after she was released from the hospital.
