A man accused of abusing his infant son admitted to breaking the child's jaw, arm and a rib in three separate incidents, police say.

Brian James Linsinbigler, 26, of 311 S.E. 8th St., was arrested by Gainesville police on Tuesday afternoon and charged with three counts of aggravated child abuse causing disfigurement to his 5-month-old son.

According to an arrest report by Officer Leah Hayes, the injuries to the baby were discovered by medical workers at Shands at the University of Florida and members of the state's Child Protection Team.

After Linsinbigler's arrest, he allegedly provided explanations for the injuries.

Linsinbigler told police that at one point the baby was in his crib lying on his side and crying. Linsinbigler told Hayes that he was going to give the baby a pacifier and in doing so, rolled the baby onto his back so violently that the baby's right humerus - upper arm bone - was twisted behind his back. Linsinbigler said he could hear the pop of the arm breaking and also felt the break as it happened.

The baby's rib was broken, according to Linsinbigler, because he squeezed the baby's torso too hard while he was angry with his own boss.

The baby was lying on the floor when Linsinbigler hit him with his open hand. Linsinbigler reportedly said he hit the baby so hard that the baby's head moved.

Following medical treatment, the baby was turned over to the Department of Children and Families.

Linsinbigler was being held at the Alachua County jail on Wednesday.

Additional details about the case - including the whereabouts of the baby's mother or who discovered the injuries - were not released by GPD.
