Provo Police arrested 28-year old Michael Hill after he reportedly abused a baby.
Police were contacted about a 3-month-old baby that had a skull fracture, head bruising, bruising on her buttocks and both fresh and old brain bleeds, according to a police report.
Police went to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City to meet with the baby’s parents and learned that the baby’s father, Hill, was usually at home with the children. Hill reportedly told police he was carrying the baby toward an infant swing when another child hit his legs and Hill dropped the baby. He reportedly told police that the baby may have hit her head on the swing’s metal legs, and that he took the baby to the hospital at the pediatrician’s request after Hill noticed swelling.
After speaking with medical staff, police re-interviewed Hill who reportedly said that he hit the baby’s head against the wall because the baby was crying, that he hit the baby in the back of the head with a closed fist and that he spanked her 10 times. He reportedly told police has hit the baby on the back of the head with a closed fist two other times.
