WISCONSIN RAPIDS (WSAU- WAOW) – A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 8 for a Wisconsin Rapids father accused of killing his toddler son a year ago.
33-year-old James W. Georgeson was charged Tuesday with first-degree reckless homicide in the February 4, 2017, death of his 15-month-old son. The child was found unresponsive and died two days later.
An autopsy determined the child died of “multiple, non-accidental, blunt force injuries,” authorities said.
Georgeson was the 911 caller who reported that the child was not breathing. Police determined the child had physical trauma to his upper body.
Georgeson, who was arrested last week, remains in jail on a $250,000 cash bond.
