A Wichita man was in Washington County Court Friday for a child abuse warrant issued in 2021.
Court document say 28-year-old Tyjuan Sherman Dean was asked by the victim’s mother to help change the victim and get him ready for a nap.
The victim’s mother heard a loud thud when she was in another room; she thought Dean was upset and threw something at a wall. The mother went into the bedroom and noticed blood on the face of the victim. The victim's injury required a visit to the hospital.
Dean first said he didn't know what happened, but later admitted via snapchat that he “underhand tossed” a sippy cup to the victim, and did not realize the victim was bleeding.
Dean is being held on $75k bond; his next court date is scheduled for August 11th.
