Local News
Babcock is accused of squeezing the child, laying his chest on him, and punching him in the back, fracturing his ribs, femurs, and clavicle.
A New Hampshire man was arrested last week on assault charges after he allegedly seriously injured his 3-month-old son, police said.
Drew Babcock, 36, is charged with eight counts of first degree domestic assault, the Nashua police said in a release last Friday. Babcock was arrested and held without bail before an arraignment on Monday.
Babcock is accused of squeezing the child, laying his chest on him, and punching him in the back, according to court records, per The Boston Globe. The child suffered fractured ribs, fractured femurs, and a fractured clavicle, the records said.
Babcock pleaded not guilty on Monday to the charges, the Globe reported.
The state’s Department of Children, Youth and Families reported the 3-month-old child’s “serious injuries,” to Nashua police on Friday, the department said. Police then launched an investigation that led to Babcock’s arrest.
Babcock remained in custody Wednesday ahead of a Thursday bail hearing before a Hillsborough County Superior Court South judge, court records show.
His lawyer, Joseph Fricano, did not return a request for comment.
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services collected samples of the unknown substance found in Sunapee Harbor and will be testing them tomorrow. Authorities say the spill was contained and prevented from spreading further.
