A Dow City man has pleaded not guilty and will face a jury trial next year on charges of child endangerment and neglect. According to Crawford County District Court records, 27-year-old Zhane Michael Frazier allegedly brought his three-month-old son to Crawford County Memorial Hospital on July 12, after performing CPR on him, believing he was having difficulty breathing and was unresponsive. Medical staff determined the child had significant injuries and transported him by air ambulance to Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha, Neb.. Medical personnel contacted the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to report serious injuries to the infant, including a brain bleed, multiple bone fractures, and retinal hemorrhaging. Allegedly, Frazier was the only adult caring for the infant and another toddler during the incident. He was taken into custody back in August and was released after posting a $50,000 surety bond. Frazier has pled not guilty to three class C felony charges of: child endangerment causing serious injury, neglect or abandonment of a dependent person, and assault while participating in a felony, causing serious injury. A jury trial has been scheduled for Jan. 6, 2026, at the Crawford County Courthouse. If convicted, Frazier could face a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in prison and fines totaling over $40,000.
