WHAT A HEEL: Iced, Iced Baby
While high on meth Chance Kracke put his 7-month-old son in the freezer while he fixed himself a meal, because the "kitchen floor was too dirty," The Arizona Republic reports:
Kracke told police he … let him out after two or three minutes because the baby began crying. The child was fine, except for a cut and lump on the boy's forehead, possibly from the freezer door. …
Investigators asked the child's mother, Leann Kracke, why she didn't report the incident and "she said Chance threatened to harm her if she did," according to a probable cause statement by police. …
When police spoke with Chance and Leann Kracke, they admitted to smoking meth over the past month and a half, police said. …
[P]olice searched the Krache's home and were met with a "strong odor of feces and urine" and cockroaches "in the hundreds," according to the statement. …
The apartment was littered with broken glass from where Chance Kracke allegedly kicked the family dog into a glass door on the entertainment center, according to the statement. …
"Overall, the apartment was filthy with trash, dismantled electronics, sharp objects and alcohol within reach of the children."
The Krackes were each arrested on two counts of possession of paraphernalia. Chance Kracke was also charged with four counts of child abuse, and one count of animal cruelty for kicking the dog. Leann Kracke was also charged with two counts of child abuse.
