[Excerpts] DEFUNIAK SPRINGS — Former Walton County Sheriff’s Deputy Jerid Day was sentenced to 15 years in prison Tuesday for aggravated child abuse and child neglect. Day was convicted of the charges in April after jurors heard testimony that he had flung his 3-month-old child into her crib... The injuries were not reported until the day after the incident because Day didn’t say anything to his wife until then... “When Day’s wife noticed a soft spot and swelling on the baby’s skull, she sought medical care, which led to the discovery of the child’s serious injuries,” the news release [from the state attorney’s office] said.
