Gibson County Sheriff Tim Bottoms said Hartley was the baby's uncle. Hartley was immediately taken into custody and is now facing a battery charge.
Boes was arrested in May 2018 after his 11-week-old son, Parker, died of blunt force head trauma.
After a plea agreement, Boes was sentenced to 20 years in prison and five years of probation.
