Man Sentenced In Baby Son’s Death

A deer river man has been sentenced in the death of his 2-month-old son.

Emery Jenkins, 38, will be sitting in prison for the next 15 years.

Jenkins recently pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter instead of the original charge of second-degree murder.

Court documents say Jenkins repeatedly bit his son and also caused rib and skull fractures on the boy from blunt trauma before he died in the hospital.
