A Farson man has been charged with child abuse, after sheriff's deputies say he threw a 12-year old boy to a concrete floor in a fit of rage. Matthew Broadhead was arrested last week following the incident, which was reported by the child to have happened November 29th. Charging documents indicate the boy accidentally tried to plug a welder in backward, which would have been an electrocution hazard had it not been noticed. But Broadhead got mad, the boy says, and threw him to the floor of the garage, then kicked him. That caused the child's knee to hit him in the face causing a nose bleed. Both of them thought the boy's nose was broken. It wasn't. Broadhead is free on a $10,000 bond, and faces a prison term of up to 10 years if convicted of the two child abuse counts lodged against him.
