A judge in Puerto Rico ordered the arrest of Salvatore Anello on Monday, Oct. 28, 2019, after prosecutors submitted evidence saying that Chloe Wiegand fell from Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas cruise ship when Anello raised her up to an open window.
Cruise company could have done "a million things" to prevent toddler's death, mother says. He says Anello "would never do something that would have.00001 percent chance to endanger Chloe", adding that her death is "going to haunt him for the rest of his life".
She fell through a large, open window, landing on the concrete dock below.
He told the BBC in a statement at the time that Chloe's grandfather did not drop her, but she fell from an open pane that should have been closed securely.
"He was extremely hysterical", Chloe's mother Kimberly previously told US Today show.
"There's no doubt this was an accident", Winkleman said.
Anello is being held on $80,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court November 20.
Alan Wiegand, the girl's father, is a police officer in South Bend, Indiana.

Alan said of Anello in the same interview: "I mean you can barely look at him without him crying".
"And their response to that was, 'We need ventilation, '" Kimberly claimed. "Everybody on earth agrees this was an accident, everybody knows there was no intent involved, and it sort of begs the question why - I don't know what the answer is but I have some theories - unfortunately it's really just pouring salt on the open wounds of this family", he said.
He said the cruise line has not given them the chance to watch surveillance video of the incident and that the family intends to file a lawsuit. "Out of respect for their privacy, we do not plan to comment further on the incident".
A representative for the Wiegand family did not immediately respond to a request for more information from NBC News.
The family is blaming Grand Caribbean for the death.
