37-year-old Jeremiah Yazziee-Miller and 34-year-old Jolynn Spahe were charged with child abuse after police say the couple smoked meth and then Yazziee-Miller shook Spahe's 11-month-old baby girl, hitting her head twice on a bed's headboard.

Police responded to a report of an 11-month-old female who was not breathing.

The infant was transported to San Juan Regional Medical Center then flown to the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque.

She is currently in the ICU and had injuries including multiple skull fractures.

Yazziee-Miller was allegedly providing child care for his girlfriend's six children while she was grocery shopping.

He messaged the mother through social media and stated something was wrong with the infant.

Yazziee-Miller then called 911 and told dispatch the infant was not breathing.

The mother charged in connection to her boyfriend severely injuring her infant daughter has had her three criminal cases dismissed after she was deemed not competent to stand trial.

Jolynn Spahe, 35, was facing a first-degree and third-degree felony counts of child abuse and a fourth-degree felony count of fraud, according to court records.

Those charges were dismissed on Sept. 10 by Chief District Judge Karen Townsend of the Eleventh Judicial Court District, according to court documents.

The order signed by Judge Townsend filed on Sept. 11 states the prosecution lacked sufficient evidence to rebut the findings of the forensic examiner that Spahe was found not competent to stand trial.

A motion to determine Spahe's competency was filed on July 19. Details of the motion was unknown as the document was sealed.

Spahe's co-defendant, Jeremiah Yazziee-Miller, 38, is serving 19 years in prison after being convicted of a first-degree felony count of child abuse following a two-day non-jury trial on May 7 and 8.

He was convicted of shaking the 11-month-old girl and striking her head on the headboard of a bed on the night of Aug. 4 at a Farmington residence, according to The Daily Times archives.

Yazziee-Miller and Spahe smoked meth before the incident as Spahe was at the grocery store when Yazzie-Miller abused the child.
The infant suffered multiple injuries including skull fractures and requires the care of specialized foster parents.

She is blind, unable to speak and requires the use of a feeding tube and was diagnosed with a permanent, serious brain injury.
