Police shared this evidence with the media.

The toddler’s mother reported the abuse. She brought her 18-month-old son to the Albany Police Department on Saturday and told investigators that her husband, Rian James Wittman used a stun-gun device on him over a three-week period.

Police said the child suffered injuries from the 100,000-volt stun-gun and he was taken to Samaritan Albany General Hospital for treatment.

The child was later taken into protective custody by the Department of Human Services.

Rian Wittman was arrested later that same night in the 1900 block of SE Hill Street without incident, police said. He was lodged in the Linn County Jail on assault and criminal mischief charges.

Anyone with additional information that may help in the investigation was asked to call the Albany Police Department at 541-917-7680.
