According to the Kentucky State Police, the investigation began on Nov. 20, when Post 7 was contacted by Boyle County Department for Community Based Services, indicating that the infant was admitted to Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
She was transferred to Kentucky Children’s Hospital in Lexington, where she succumbed to her injuries on Nov. 22. An autopsy was performed the same day by the State Medical Examiner’s office. The preliminary diagnosis indicated that the child died from multiple internal injuries.
Spielman was arrested and charged with menacing; resisting arrest; fourth-degree assault, domestic violence; and second-degree wanton endangerment. He was lodged in the Boyle County Detention Center.
Spielman bonded out of jail on Dec. 8, and was arrested again on Dec. 12 for allegedly violating a protective order.
