SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls one-year-old suffered a broken arm early this morning and his mother's boyfriend is charged with felony child abuse.
Officer Sam Clemens says 27-year-old Glen Royal Wanna Junior told investigators the child was acting fussy and he grabbed the infant's arm.
Clemens says the mother noticed the child's crying was becoming more intense and she says Wanna told her that he may have broken the boy's arm.
The child was taken to the hospital where the doctor told authorities that the broken arm was the result of a snapping action and not a pulling action.
Wanna is also charged with simple assault domestic for allegedly hitting his girlfriend yesterday afternoon.
Wanna is not the child's father. Wanna lived with his 27-year-old girlfriend and the boy.
