Beatrice man accused of punching infant, toddler, their mom

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) - Authorities have charged a Beatrice man accused of punching an infant, a toddler and their mom.

The Beatrice Daily Sun reports (https://bit.ly/2sErSNX ) that 25-year-old Zachary Bond is charged with felony child abuse, terroristic threats and domestic assault. Gage County Jail records say he remained in custody Thursday. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

A court document says the woman told investigators that Bond exploded in anger Sunday as he complained about his life, causing the 1-year-old to cry. She says Bond shook the girl and punched her. The woman says he then punched her repeatedly.

She says Bond erupted again a couple hours later, causing the 3-year-old to cry. She says Bond spanked the boy and held a pillow over his face until she intervened.
