Police: Dad threw baby up and down, then fought cops (Chicago, Illinois)

Forget the Nutcracker. Here's all the Daddy Drama you'll ever need. The star of this show is identified as LEXTON JENKINS. If he violated an order of protection, I'm assuming he had a previous record of domestic violence against the baby's mother.

Police: Father threw baby up and down, then fought cops

A man was arrested earlier this week after throwing his 2-year-old son into the air and handling the child aggressively while walking several blocks down a West Side street, according to Chicago police. 

Witnesses called 911 about 11 p.m. Wednesday when they saw the man near West Cermak and South Pulaski roads.

Ogden District police officers arrived at the 3900 block of Cermak and saw the man wearing a shirt, pants and socks, police said. His son was only wearing pajamas.

The officers took the boy into the warmth of a squad car, police said. But the father put up a fight with the officers, who had to wrestle him to the ground in order to bring him into custody.

Police said it is believed the father might have had illegal drugs in his system.

Lexton Jenkins, 22, was charged with four misdemeanors: endangering the life and health of a child, simple assault, resisting arrest and violating an order of protection.
