A Grand Forks day-care provider accused of shaking a 4-month-old boy and causing head injuries has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Police say 27-year-old Marsha Brouillet told an officer she shook the boy without supporting his head during a moment of frustration last march.

The boy suffered a seizure the next day.

Brouillet faces a felony child abuse charge and faces up to 10 years in prison.

She is out on a 25-hundred dollar bond and will be back in court next in December.

Officials say they cannot comment on the baby's long-term diagnosis.
