A probable cause affidavit obtained by the outlet stated that when police arrived outside the apartment, the mother could be heard yelling at Kendrick Neal, the father of the child, "I'm about to show you real quick. You don't want him? ... "Let me show you about this little f*cking baby, I don't f*cking give f*ck about."

According to prosecutors, Sharday McDonald opened the door and was seen holding the child in a wrapped blanket and told the responding officer that she wasn't trying to harm, hurt, or kill her son by drowning him or putting him in the freezer.

Pictures of McDonald holding the baby "by his onesie" and waterboarding him were also found. According to the officer, "It looked like [the baby] was trying to hold his breath while water was pouring over his face," who added that McDonald "…was holding [the baby] by the onesie but at a downward angel, where his hip, legs and feet were higher than his head (almost upside down) with water running over his face. The only place the water could go (in that picture) was in his nose (at that angle)."
