Oklahoma man wanted in child’s death arrested in Kansas

OWASSO, Okla. (AP) – A man wanted for the July death of a 10-month-old Owasso girl has been arrested in Kansas.

Owasso Police Chief Scott Chambless says the suspect Brandon Wade Nordstedt, 22, was arrested Thursday in Hutchinson. He was picked up by a Reno County Sheriff Deputy just before 10:30 p.m. on Westridge which is west of Hutchinson.

Court records do not show that formal charges have been filed in Oklahome and it doesn’t appear he’ll face any charges locally.

Chambless says the infant was the daughter of the suspect’s girlfriend. The child was taken to a hospital in Owasso on July 11 and transferred to a Tulsa hospital where she died on July 12.

Police say the child died of an apparent brain injury and that the suspect was the only adult present when the girl was injured.
