GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - A Grand Rapids man has pleaded guilty to shaking his newborn baby in October 2011.

Michael Suchodolski pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree child abuse and one count of attempted child abuse on Wednesday.

Another count of first-degree child abuse was dropped in exchange for the guilty plea.

Suchodolski is scheduled to be sentenced April 24.
