Man arrested after altercation with 5-year-old boy

SHELTON, Conn. (AP) A Connecticut man is facing charges after police say he pinned a 5-year-old boy to the ground during a Father's Day party.

Police say the 33-year-old Derby man was attending a party at a Shelton day care June 16 when the child playfully took a card the man received from his son. Police say Lance Churchill chased the child, picked him up and pinned him to the ground, screaming at him in front of the other children.

Police say the 6-foot-4, 270 pound man asked responding officers to have the 5-year-old arrested.

The man has been charged with risk of injury to a minor and disorderly conduct.
