Ohio man indicted in death of 3-month-old son

COLUMBUS (AP) — A prosecutor says a plea agreement has been reached with a man facing life imprisonment in the death of his 3-month-old son, who authorities say was thrown repeatedly to the concrete and dragged along the street.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said today that a jury indicted 20-year-old Quindell Sherman on one count of aggravated murder in the November death of Jayden Mitchell.

Police have said the child was at one point flung 25 feet into the middle of the street during a dispute between Sherman and the baby’s mother. Authorities say Sherman then hid in a trash bin, where police found him standing on the boy.

Sherman is in the county jail on $2.5 million bail pending a Friday arraignment.
