Police: Father dragged 3-month-old son 'like a rag doll'

COLUMBUS

Police who’ve charged an Ohio man with fatally throwing his baby son down on the ground say the infant also was dragged down the street “like a rag doll.”

The Columbus Dispatch reports that detail is in a police report prepared for a court where 20-year-old Quindell Sherman appeared Thursday on a murder charge. A Franklin County judge in Columbus set bond at $2.5 million.

A court clerk says Sherman did not enter a plea and says he does not have an attorney listed.

Detectives say Sherman slammed the 3-month-old infant down several times Tuesday night amid a dispute with the boy’s mother outside the woman’s home. The baby was pronounced dead at a hospital.
