A man accused of attacking his pregnant wife and killing their unborn baby appeared in court for a hearing Thursday, and on his way into court, he blamed synthetic marijuana for what happened.

I have seen this man’s name spelled two ways.  So I tagged the post with both spellings.

Just after 11:00 a.m. on October 23, 2012, 9-1-1 Dispatchers with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office received a call about a disturbance at 30259 Milton Road in Walker. LPSO Deputies and Walker Police responded to this call.

On scene, deputies learned that a sharp instrument was used to sever the belly of a woman who was approximately seven-and-a-half months pregnant. The baby was then forcibly removed from her womb. That baby did not survive. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.

The 28-year old pregnant victim is currently listed as stable at a local hospital.

WALKER – Livingston Parish authorities charged a man with feticide and attempted murder after they said he stabbed his pregnant wife this morning, and cut her unborn child from her.

“It’s a gruesome scene,” Sheriff Jason Ard told News 2, “very challenging for our investigators.”

Ard said his investigators charged Jeffery Reynolds with first-degree feticide and second-degree attempted murder in connection with the incident this morning at his home on Milton Road outside Walker.

Sheriff’s office spokesperson Lori Steele said a call about a stabbing came in around 11:15 a.m. from the residence. Neighbors told News 2 they heard yelling and a commotion from the residence, and when investigators arrived Steele said they found Reynolds had used “a utensil” to remove the fetus, which died despite attempts by EMS to revive it.
