CHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 28 (UPI) -- An Arizona man suspected of being high on meth allegedly put his toddler son in a freezer for several minutes while he prepared a meal for himself, police said.
Chance Kracke of Chandler, Ariz., and his wife face child abuse and drug charges from the Aug. 16 incident, The Arizona Republic reported.
Kracke told Chandler police he was on methamphetamine when he placed his 7-month-old son in a freezer drawer as he prepared a meal at their apartment, Sgt. Joe Favazzo, a police spokesman, said.
Kracke told police he placed his son in the freezer because the "kitchen floor was too dirty" and let him out after 2 or 3 minutes because the baby began crying, Favazzo said.
Police investigated after a 911 call from the child's grandmother about a lump and cut on his head after the Krackes dropped him off at her home.
Chance Kracke was arrested on suspicion of four counts of child abuse and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Leann Kracke was arrested on suspicion of two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and two counts of child abuse, the Republic reported.
