Father Charged With Beating, Freezing Infant
LAS VEGAS (CBS/KLAS) Police arrested a Las Vegas man on child abuse charges Monday for allegedly kicking and hitting his 4-month-old son before putting him in the freezer while the mother was away, said CBS affiliate KLAS.
Randy Thomsen, 25, told police his son Alexander fell off the couch May 27, causing head injuries. According to KLAS, when the mother, Mayra Meza-Irra, took the child for medical care almost a week later, doctors determined the boy had sustained a fractured skull and broken ribs — severe injuries for a fall. Medical specialists concluded that the child suffered from four rib fractures, and possibly a fifth, inconsistent with Alexander falling off the couch.
