NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WIVB) - A Niagara County man will serve two and a half years behind bars, for violently shaking his own baby.
A judge sentenced 19-year-old James Tobey Thursday afternoon.
Prosecutors say Tobey shook his six-week-old daughter because she wouldn't stop crying.
The baby survived, but was said to have suffered a brain injury.
Investigators say the baby had been crying because of broken ribs she suffered when her father squeeze her on a previous occasion.
