Alton Ambush Stopped By Cops From Killing The Baby

[Dakota Valkyrie]

A Frederick man has been charged with child abuse and assault after police intervened Friday as he allegedly attempted to suffocate his 19-month-old infant son.

Alton Howard Ambush, 33, of the 600 block of Gas House Pike has been charged with with 2nd degree child abuse, 1st and 2nd degree assault, reckless endangerment and resisting arrest after city police responded to a report of domestic dispute at 175 Fairfield Drive.

According to police, Officer Alcorn of the Frederick Police Department’s Patrol Division arrived at the residence at about 5:24 p.m. and was met outside the house by family members of Ambush who screamed that the man was “killing the baby.”

Once inside the house Alcorn found Ambush squeezing the infant to suffocate him, police say.

A number of pleas by the officer to get Ambush to let go of the baby only enraged the man who increased his pressure on the boy, police say. After more police arrived, officers struggled with Ambush and were able to get him to release the child, who had begun to turn blue, police say.

Ambush was taken into custody and admitted to Frederick Memorial Hospital that evening for evaluation to determine his motive.

The child was treated at the scene and was determined to have recovered.

That's what I was thinking,...who runs out into the front yard while someone is trying to kill your baby? Grab the ball bat, the knife out of the kitchen, a skillet,..something!

They are properly called dwarves or little people although they dont like that term much (little people) nothing little about them, and yes they would have grabbed knives or sticks and beat the fuck out of him too, you dont mess with the babies...

Well, everyone pretty much said it all. Why the fuck didn't someone take a hammer, parring knife, vase something everyone has something in there house - then there is always a tire iron in the car. What if the police had taken there time in getting there. These are some people that have never been on the DD and seen how the justice system can fuck up.

VXIII: I apologize for the midget crack. (wink)

While I'm glad someone had the presence of mind to call the police, and that they acted fast enough to save the baby's life, I have to think on a recent case we read about where a woman's children (small ones at that) beat on her attacker until he fled. I have a hard time understanding why someone in that situation wouldn't be hitting the SOB over the head with a lamp or up the backside with a chair leg -- and then calling the police.
