"Baby" HUSKEY - 18 months - Panama City FL

Their baby’s skull had been fractured by a nail, but instead of
getting help, John Paul Huskey and Jessica Huskey kept on doing meth,
according to law enforcement documents released Thursday.
Investigators believe the baby’s skull was fractured Tuesday night
after John Paul Huskey, 28, jumped on a chair and the chair broke
apart, sending a nail into the 18-month-old’s head. But instead of
calling for help to come to their Beech Drive apartment, the Huskeys
wrapped their baby’s head in duct tape and continued to use meth,
officials said.
The baby did not receive medical attention until Wednesday morning,
when John Paul Huskey called 911 from a cell phone in Calhoun County.
Capt. Jimmy Stanford said Jessica Huskey, 25, awoke Wednesday morning
to find her baby “not doing well” and “turning colors.” Jessica Huskey
then began to call friends and family members for help, including her
husband, John Paul Huskey, who was in Calhoun County for an unknown
reason, Stanford said.
Deputies found Jessica Huskey, the baby and another 4-year-old child
at the apartment, investigators said. The baby was taken to Sacred
Heart Hospital in Pensacola on Wednesday night and remains in critical
condition. The 4-year-old was taken by Florida’s Department of Children
and Families.
After calling 911, John Paul Huskey refused to speak with deputies
about the incident and was arrested in Bay County on Wednesday.
Jessica Huskey told investigators the couple did not immediately
call for help because they were high and they were “concerned as to
what may be found in their home, specifically methamphetamine,” Sgt.
Steve Nagy wrote in a complaint affidavit.
John Paul Huskey is charged with aggravated child abuse, possession
of meth, possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and possession
of drug paraphernalia. He also is charged with dealing in stolen
property. According to a complaint affidavit, he stole a $425 iPod
Touch out of a car in July and tried to pawn it Sept. 16.
Jessica Huskey is charged with aggravated child abuse, possession of meth and possession of drug paraphernalia.
