Polk County (WQOW) – A northwestern Wisconsin man accused of severely injuring his infant daughter will serve time behind bars.

Travis Parmeter, of Osceola, was sentenced to 18 months in jail, followed by three years of probation.

Police were called to a home in Osceola in October of 2017 for a report of a five-month-old girl who had no pulse and was not breathing.

Doctors said the baby had a brain injury and three rib fractures.

Parmeter pleaded guilty to child abuse in April.

Parmeter is ordered to maintain absolute sobriety and must undergo counseling.
