Man gets twice the prison time for chemically burning toddler
A man sentenced to 6 years in prison for using industrial strength cleaner on a toddler’s face, just wound up with an additional 6 years for missing his court date. Would he like to try for 18?
Pulaski County Circuit Judge Barry Sims said Daniel Gary Price, 40, of North Little Rock had no legitimate excuse for missing a July 20 court date. The judge found Price guilty Friday of a felony failure-to-appear charge.
The judge added six years to Price’s six-year sentence from January when a jury convicted him of second-degree battery and misdemeanor child endangerment for burning his girlfriend’s son’s face with rust remover, nail-polish remover and an industrial cleaner. Price also was fined $10,000 for those crimes.
The child, Braxton Robinson, was 21 months old at the time and suffered second-degree burns.
