LEWISTON — Danny Adams, accused of killing his 14-week-old son, Zade, in December, was indicted Wednesday on charges of murder and manslaughter.

Adams, 24, is expected to make a court appearance next Wednesday to face the charges against him. He has remained jailed without bail since he was arrested in early January.

Police said Adams, of 77 Rideout Ave., Lewiston, told them he was frustrated that his son wouldn’t stop crying on the morning of Dec. 14, so he put a pacifier in his son’s mouth and forced him to stay on his stomach by pressing on his back.

An autopsy determined the cause of death was asphyxiation.

Adams told police in an earlier interview that he had injected heroin the night before at a friend’s house, then smoked marijuana with Baker when he got home. He said he had bruised Zade’s ears when he squeezed them with his thumb and fingers as he held the head of the baby, who continued to cry, according to court documents.

Adams said he caused bruising on Zade’s forehead when he forced a pacifier in the baby’s mouth and held it in place with his palm, while supporting his fingers on the baby’s forehead.

Doctors detected a rib fracture during the autopsy. Adams told police he had become frustrated by Zade’s crying about four weeks earlier and had squeezed the baby with force.
