SCRANTON -- A father who admitted to hurting his 3-month-old daughter was sentenced in Lackawanna County.

Matthew Brown was sentenced Tuesday to 30 to 60 months in prison for breaking his daughter's rib when she wouldn't stop crying.

Brown pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in March.

Investigators said the man was watching the baby at an apartment in Carbondale in October of 2013, when he got frustrated and then squeezed her until she started gasping.
