PHOENIX (AP) — A Chandler man has been arrested for allegedly putting his infant son in the freezer.
Police say the 7-month-old baby suffered only a forehead laceration, which was possibly from the freezer door.
Chance Kracke was arrested Thursday on charges of child abuse and possession of drug paraphernalia. He told police that he was high on methamphetamine when he placed his son in the freezer Aug. 16.
Kracke told police that he was preparing food when he put the boy on the bottom shelf of his freezer and closed the door because the "kitchen floor was too dirty."
After two or three minutes, the baby began crying and Kracke says he took him out of the freezer and placed him onto the kitchen floor.
It was unclear Friday whether Kracke had legal representation.
