A judge sentenced a Salina man to nearly ten years in prison for the death of his 10-month old son.

Michael Ray Hatfield pleaded no contest in the death of Waylon Hatfield in May of 2017. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated child endangerment of a child.

Prosecutors say the infant's older brother found him face down in a bathtub filled with water. Paramedics were called to the home but could not revive the baby.

Police found drugs and drug paraphernalia. Prosecutors dropped the drug charges in exchange for Hatfield's plea.

Once he's released from prison, he'll have 24 months of post-release supervision.
