OWASSO, Okla. (AP) – A 22-year-old man wanted for the July death of a 10-month-old Owasso, Okla. girl was arrested in Hutchinson.
Owasso Police Chief Scott Chambless says the suspect Brandon Wade Nordstedt was arrested Thursday in Hutchinson by a Reno County Sheriff Deputy just before 10:30 p.m. this on Westridge which is west of Hutchinson.
Court records do not show that formal charges have been filed in Oklahoma and it doesn’t appear he’ll face any charges locally.
Chambless says the infant was the daughter of the suspect’s girlfriend. The child was taken to a hospital in Owasso on July 11 and transferred to a Tulsa hospital where she died on July 12.
Police say the child died of an apparent brain injury and that the suspect was the only adult present when the girl was injured.
