BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — A Sarpy County man has been sentenced to prison for shaking his 5-week-old daughter so hard she suffered serious head trauma.

Daniel Salazar of Bellevue received 12 to 24 years for child abuse on Monday. He will be eligible for parole after six years.

Salazar and his wife were arrested in February after the girl was admitted to the emergency room. His wife is awaiting trial.

A Sarpy County judge says Salazar is a continuing danger to his children.
