A Wisconsin man who allegedly threw a baby over a second-story balcony now faces felony charges and sits behind bars.
Jaimann Eiland, 31, was arrested March 15 after prosecutors said he “intentionally threw” a 1-year-old girl from the balcony of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin home of the baby’s mother Shakira Walters, whose age was not available. According to a criminal complaint obtained by WITI, a local Fox affiliate, an argument erupted between Walters and Eiland on March 13 after she heard her baby crying. WITI reported that the altercation escalated, and Eiland allegedly retrieved a knife and told Walters, “You gon’ die today.”
