A Carbon County man who admitted injuring his then 2-month-old daughter during an argument with his wife was sentenced to a county prison term on Tuesday.

Judge Joseph J. Matika sentenced Anthony Dylan Shetrompf, 22, of Palmerton to serve one day less one to one day less two years in the county prison followed by one year of probation.Shetrompf previously pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault on a child less than 18, a felony 2. In exchange for the plea the district attorney's office dropped counts of endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.According to police, when they interviewed Shetrompf, he admitted he aggressively picked up the child, and he heard a pop when he realized that the child's leg was wrapped in a blanket. Shetrompf then said he grabbed the child about the rib cage again, more aggressively.When he realized he was hurting the child he went to place her back in the crib and accidentally dropped her from approximately 1 foot above the mattress.Shetrompf and his wife then took the child to St. Luke's Miners Campus in Coaldale for treatment. The infant was treated for seven broken ribs, a spiral fracture midshaft right femur and a broken shoulder.Shetrompf said after arguing with his wife he got mad because the child kept crying.Also according to the affidavit of probable cause, the child had a number of old injuries.Defense attorney Matthew Mottola, of the public defender's office, said most of the injuries found at the hospital were old and his client denies inflicting them. He said he admitted to the midshaft right femur injury.Shetrompf told Matika, "What happened that night was an unfortunate accident." He expressed remorse for the incident.But Matika didn't agree it was an accident.Referring to a presentence investigation report, Matika said, "I'm not seeing you accept responsibility for what you did."He added, "This was not an accident, if it was you wouldn't be here."Matika said the baby was crying because it needed something or something was wrong with her."You didn't know how to handle a crying baby. For that you must pay the consequences," Matika said.In addition to the jail term Matika ordered Shetrompf to render a total of 150 hours of community service when released on parole, get a mental health evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment, have no unsupervised contact with any children, including his two children, supply a DNA sample, pay court costs of about $1,000, and pay a $50 per month supervision fee when released on parole.He was given credit for 104 days spent in jail to date on the charge.Tattooing a minorBefore the start of the sentencing proceeding Shetrompf entered a plea to one count of tattooing a minor. Palmerton police charged that Shetrompf gave a then 16-year-old girl a tattoo on her buttocks. Neither the girl's mother nor father had given permission for the tattooing as required by state law.On that charge Matika placed Shetrompf on probation for a year, consecutive to the assault count, and to have no contact with the victim.
