A man gets 10 years in prison on felony injury to a child charges for abusing a 3 year-old Nampa boy.
Jeffrey Byerly Jr. of Pennsylvania was just sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Canyon County Prosecutors Office for bashing a boys head into a dresser, causing his scalp to detach.
Byerly was arrested in June after investigations revealed he physically abused the child of a woman he was dating, after the boy found his marijuana pipe.
Byerly admitted to swinging the child by his ankles like a pendulum and according to prosecutors the boys head swelled so much that he was unable to open his eyes or see normally for two weeks.
He will have to serve 3 1/2 years in prison before he is eligible for parole.
