A Washington County man has been arrested accused of the deaths of his six and seven-month-old children.

24-year-old Travis Fox faces a charge of first degree murder from West Fork Police and the Washington County Sheriff's for the 2011 death of his six-month-old son and another from Springdale Police for the death of his seven-month-old son on Wednesday.
According to an arrest report, Washington County Deputy Coroner Randall Galloway was called Wednesday afternoon to investigate the death of a seven-month-old baby boy in Springdale.
Galloway recognized the father of the child as the same father in the 2011 suspicious death of a six-month-old baby in West Fork in which the child had died in a similar fashion.
The report states that Fox acted out the events for police that led to Wednesday's death of the six-month-old boy. He admitted to shaking the boy for 15-20 seconds because he was "fussing." Fox added that he had consumed five beers earlier that day and admitted to being intoxicated.
When interviewed about the six-month-old child, Fox again admitted to shaking the child for 30-45 seconds because he was fussing. The report states that Fox told police he was angry and tired because he had been sleep deprived. 
He also admitted to being intoxicated on Tequila at the time as well and expressed needing help with his anger.
Fox has been booked into the Washington County Jail. He's scheduled to appear in court Monday morning.
