-A Marshfield man was sentenced in Wood County Court for causing severe injuries to a young boy.According to court records, authorities went to investigate a suspected child abuse at St. Joseph’s Hospital back in May after Chad Wozniak brought an unconscious 2-year-old boy to the emergency room. The child had severe bruising to his head as well as bleeding in his head and hemorrhaging in his eyes. Wozniak initially claimed that when he went to use the bathroom, he believed the child had fallen off the sofa.
He later stated that he had been wrestling the boy, picked him up and brought him over his head, but then dropped him when his ankle gave away causing the boy to fall to the floor on his head. Wozniak was supposed to be keeping weight off his ankle due to an injury. He was sentenced to 2 years in prison and 3 years of extended supervision.
