A young father in Washington state is accused of putting his newborn baby in the freezer to make her stop crying.
Tyler Deutsch, 25, was arrested on attempted murder charges and was expected in court Tuesday.
Pierce County sheriff's deputies believe the 6-week-old baby was in the freezer for about an hour, Seattle TV station KING reported.
The girl's frantic 22-year-old mother, Deutsch's girlfriend, called police after she saw him take the baby out of the freezer at their Roy area home, according to Seattle TV station KOMO.
Doctors expect the baby to recover.
"It could have absolutely turned out a lot different," Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer told KOMO. "The baby could have just been dead and on the way to being frozen. An hour inside of an ice box freezer usually would kill somebody."
