A Milwaukee father punched and killed his 5-year-old son because the boy ate a piece of his cheesecake, prosecutors say.
Travis
Stackhouse, 29, told police he punched his son in the stomach Friday
because he was upset three of his children were eating the cheesecake
he’d gotten for Father’s Day, according to a criminal complaint.
Stackhouse told police he only had one piece.
Prosecutors
on Wednesday charged Stackhouse with first-degree reckless homicide in
the death of his son. He is held on $25,000 bond, according to the
Milwaukee County Jail website. He faces up to 60 years in prison, if
convicted.
Paramedics arrived about 2 a.m. Saturday
at the home in the 2600 block of West Ruby Avenue and pronounced the
boy dead after CPR did not revive him. The Milwaukee County Medical
Examiner’s Office determined he suffered a ruptured stomach, bruised
kidneys and a torn adrenal gland. He died from blunt force trauma to the
abdomen.
I understand that the cheesecake was to die for.
