ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon man has been sentenced to nearly two years in prison after he accidentally smothered his infant son by rolling on top of him while drunk and asleep.
A judge called it a tragic situation during a sentencing hearing last week for 29-year-old Cameron Michael Rogers of Astoria.
His girlfriend, the mother of the couple’s month-and-a-half-old son Calvin, was in jail for assaulting Rogers earlier that day, so he took his son to a friend’s home and started drinking.
The Daily Astorian reported that Rogers was “highly intoxicated” when he rolled over on Calvin while they were sleeping in a bed at the friend’s home.
