DURANT — A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a man accused of seriously injuring his baby by shaking and squeezing the infant.

Jimmy Wayne Murr, 20, Durant, was charged with one count of child abuse following an investigation by the Durant Police Department into an incident that happened earlier this year.

Police and emergency responders were dispatched to an East Pine Street home in January after receiving a call about an infant that was not breathing.

According to an affidavit by Lt. Chris Marcy, a nine-week-old baby boy was later transferred to Children’s Hospital in Dallas, and the infant suffered multiple injuries, including bleeding of the brain, brain swelling and fractured ribs.

Marcy and Capt. Ben Veenstra questioned Murr who said the baby continued to cry, and he became frustrated with the infant, the affidavit states.

Murr told police that he shook and squeezed the baby and put him back on the bed. According to police, Murr said he was leaving the room to calm down and the baby was still crying. As he was leaving the room, the baby became quiet and quit breathing.

Murr, the affidavit states, apologized for his actions and said he had not told anyone about the incident because he knew he would go to prison.

He should have left the room before he did this. Just walk away. How sad.

Too little, too late.

Hope the baby fully recovers.
