PADUCAH, KY - A Kentucky man doesn't remember putting his infant son in the oven in the middle of the night. That man pleaded not guilty.

33 year old Christopher Long told police he doesn't remember putting his five week old son in the oven after changing the infant's diaper and feeding him at 3 a.m. The incident occured on March 15th.

Luckily the infant boy was not injured.

The boy's mother heard her son crying and went to look for the boy when she saw he wasn't in his crib. The infant had been in the oven for about two hours when the mother found him.

Long admitted to police that he drank a fifth of whiskey when he came home, and smoked marijuana while at work.
