The child was not seriously hurt.
Fricke faces a misdemeanor assault charge and was jailed under $100 bond.

Seriously, asshole. Kill yourself. It's the only good thing you'll ever do. Better yet, since you're such a loser that you still live with your mom, maybe Mom should do it. C'mon, Mom. Bullet to the head.
