Tyler Deutsch Tired and frustrated with her relentless crying, he put his own 6 week old baby, wearing only a diaper (her mother said she was fully clothed at the time she left), into the freezer atop bags of ice and frozen cauliflower. He closed the door and promptly fell asleep, leaving his daughter to freeze for over an hour before his girlfriend came home and was horrified to realize what he had done. Deutsch was awakened when the baby’s mother arrived back at the couple’s trailer and pulled his daughter out of the freezer, according to charges. The baby had blistered skin and a body temperature of 84 degrees after spending an hour in the freezer. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the baby’s mother tried to call 911 but Deutsch took the phone away from her because he didn’t want to get in trouble. The mother was able to leave the trailer and get a neighbor to call for help. [... ] The baby, who also had a broken arm and leg and a head injury, is expected to survive, though complications are possible. A thermometer inside the freezer registered a temperature of 10 degrees. Deutsch appeared in court on Tuesday, May 28, to plead not guilty to charges of “first-degree child assault, first-degree criminal mistreatment and interfering with the reporting of a domestic violence incident.” He also faces enhancements for aggravated domestic violence. His bail has been set at $1 million dollars and prosecutor Michelle Hyer has indicated Deutsch could face life in prison if convicted on all charges. Tyler Deutsch
