NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – A 32-year-old western Nebraska man has been given 18 months of probation after making a plea deal on a child abuse charge.
Domingo Carrizales, of Hershey, pleaded guilty to assault. In return, a felony charge of intentional child abuse was dropped.
Carrizales was arrested after his 2-year-old child was taken to Great Plains Medical Center in North Platte.
Authorities say the child was struck in the head on Oct. 3 and that Carrizales admitted punching the child in the head several times.
