Gina frowned and finished her statement to the arresting officers, “….when he saw that the baby had flushed the papers down the toilet, he flew into a rage! He struck the baby on the side of the head and screamed obscenities at him. You can see what he did to his head! I pulled him off and grabbed the baby. Then I ran to the neighbors to call the police. I was terrified.”
“Don’t worry about him, mam,” the officer said grimly, “He won’t be getting out of prison for a long, long time. He attacked one of the arresting officers and we were forced to subdue him. Assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon is a serious charge. It probably won’t even be necessary for you to testify against him.”
