BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) - A Mountain Home man was arrested Wednesday after officials say a 1-year-old died from trauma related causes.
Richard Ryan Laubach, 20, was charged with first degree murder, and is being held without bail. Documents reveal he was charged with injury to a child and domestic battery for an incident in August of 2012 involving the same child.
In December of 2012 the charges were dropped after Laubach completed anger management, parenting classes, and other counseling. KBOI has requested the police report from the previous incident, but our request is still being processed.

i hope they give them the death penalty and charge the mom, how did he have the chance to do this if his leg was broken by this man already. why wasn't a no contact order put in place or harsher sentencing for the first incident? i thought injury resulting in broken bones was a felony? how does that make sense? the previous punishment didn't equal the crime. i think he got it easy the first time cause of his military background and that's b.s!!!! so he was told that it's ok for him to do that so he did it again, and that sweet little boy is gone now. i feel for his biological dad. who could do nothing to help cause he was being kept from seeing his son
Off With His B@lls!Â
