Vermont dad accused of abusing baby daughter, wife

The Associated Press | September 29,2009
THETFORD - Police in Thetford say a man has been arrested on suspicion of abusing his baby, then beating up his wife.

Police say 26-year-old Jeremy Quillia shook his 1-year-old daughter "excessively" when she wouldn't stop crying. Police say he then squeezed a bottle of milk into the baby's mouth, causing her to gag.

WCAX-TV reports when Quillia's wife intervened, police say he punched her in the face at least six times and held a knife to her throat.

Quillia is charged with aggravated domestic assault and child abuse.
