20-year-old Milwaukee resident Jalin White has been charged with two felonies after allegedly throwing an infant against a wall in a rage brought on by his poor performance in a video game. Local police say they became involved with the incident on November 5, when they received a criminal complaint filed by Children’s Wisconsin, a local pediatric hospital.
“The defendant was playing NBA 2K and the game was competitive,” the complaint states, later noting that White “became frustrated while holding [the baby], ultimately throwing [the child] against the wall.” White was later charged with one count of felony child abuse and one count of felony child neglect.
