Iowan Accused of Shaking Baby

A 31-year-old Iowa man was arrested in Minnesota tonight while his 6-day-old infant remained in an intensive care unit there.

On Tuesday, Nashua law enforcement officials were contacted by security personnel at Covenant Hospital in Waterloo. Police were advised that an infant suffering injuries consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome had been transferred there from Floyd County Memorial Hospital.

The infant, daughter of Randy Blanchard and Annette Eilderts of Nashua, was subsequently transferred to Saint Mary's Hospital in Rochester, where she continues to be treated in the intensive care unit.

At roughly 5:30 p.m. Blanchard was arrested in Rochester. He was transported to the Olmstead County Sheriff's Office, pending his return to Iowa.

The Nashua Police Department was assisted by the Chickasaw County Sheriff's Office, the Chickasaw County Attorney and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
