Jeremy Davis
A Redwood City man under the influence of drugs when he mistakenly thought he killed his 7-month-old son and barged into a stranger’s home in April was sentenced to two years in state prison Friday.
Jeremy Davis, 37, was charged with three felonies and two misdemeanors related to the bizarre incident. He pleaded no contest in July for child endangerment.
The father burst into a stranger’s home on the 900 block of Chatworth Lane in the evening of April 29. Davis was dangling and swinging his infant son upside down by the feet when he told the resident, a 64-year-old woman, he had killed the baby, according to prosecutors.
The child was alive, but it appears Davis was under the influence of drugs, possibly methamphetamine, according to prosecutors. The woman convinced Davis to hand her the child. But then he suddenly charged and tackled the woman, causing her to fall on the baby, who suffered a small cut to the head.
Police later found Davis standing in the middle of the street and refusing to follow directions. Davis allegedly approached the officer with closed fists and was hit with a Taser but it had no effect. Davis continued to resist officers but was eventually subdued with the help of a citizen. Davis was so worked up he had to be sedated at the hospital before calming down, according to prosecutors.
