MOORHEAD (KFGO) - A Moorhead man is in jail on child abuse charges. Investigators say Shawn Michael Foltz, 31, rubbed hot sauce and cayenne pepper in the two-month-old child's eyes and kept her from breathing until she turned blue. They say he also snapped her with a towel, burned her by spraying hot water in her face and threw fireworks at her.
The mother told police Foltz had accused a three year-old brother of causing the injuries by hitting her with a toy gun.
Later, he admitted to investigators he thought about ways to harm his daughter while he was at work.
