(KSL News) A Lehi man is in jail tonight because he went on a shoplifting spree and, in the process, injured his 4-month-old infant.

American Fork police say Kieth Devey had the baby in a shopping cart car seat, but the baby wasn't strapped in. As he left Wal-Mart, store employees confronted him for shoplifting.

Devey began fighting and knocked over the shopping cart. The baby boy flew out of the car seat and landed on his head. He went to the hospital with a large goose egg but is expected to be fine.

Devey was arrested on robbery, theft and child abuse charges.
