An American Fork man who pleaded guilty to reduced charges of child abuse was sentenced Thursday to 100 days in the Utah County Jail.

Hadlock called American Fork police after his infant foster son stopped breathing.

While he first told police he did not know how the boy was injured, he changed his story days later.

While tossing the child in the air as a game, he said, the boy had been accidentally dropped.

Doctors said the infant's fractured legs, ribs and bleeding on the brain was consistent with shaking.

Hadlock's defense attorney, Gary Weight, said he was surprised by Judge Gary Stott's 100-day sentence and 24-month probation.

Weight said the sentencing recommendation for the charges was 20 days in jail, and he said judges will often let people with such a sentence stay out of jail while using a GPS monitoring system.

Instead, Stott said Hadlock will not be allowed time off for good behavior during his sentence, but he will be eligible for a work diversion program on GPS monitoring after 60 days.

"He will leave it up to AP&P [Adult Probation and Parole] to decide if Mr. Hadlock needs any anger management."

Weight said the severity of the sentence was a surprise to him and his client, though he expected prosecutors would ask for a heavier sentence than 20 days.

"Even the prosecutor wasn't asking for 100 days," he said. "She recommended 90."

Weight said the sentencing was a hard decision for the judge.

Hadlock's ex-wife gave emotional testimony for the victim, whom the couple had planned to adopt if his natural parents could not take him back.

With stark differences on how the crime had occurred coming from both sides of the case, the judge made the sentence he felt was just.

"I think he shaped the punishment based upon the injuries of the child," he said.

Weight said the boy has healed since the incident and is no longer in the care of Hadlock or his ex-wife.

"The child has been placed with another family and that family has adopted," he said.
