OLYMPIA – A judge sentenced an Olympia man to 11 years and eight months in prison Thursday for throwing his infant son on the ground in July because he would not stop crying, according to court papers.

Shane Dean Olsen, 19, had pleaded guilty to first-degree assault of a child, second-degree assault of a child and one count of first-degree criminal mistreatment.
