Piqua police were called around 6 p.m. Feb. 1 to an apartment in the 400 block of Wood Street after a neighbor reported hearing a father screaming at his young daughter and threatening to kill her, according to an affidavit filed in Miami County Municipal Court.
Said reportedly told the officer that his 9-year-old daughter was in trouble because she went to a birthday party over the weekend and that a video showed her “touching boys” when she linked arms with a boy, according to the court document.
Said is accused of torturing or abusing his daughter “by heating up a knife on a stove and burning her face with it as punishment,” which left a scar following an incident that reportedly happened in November, the affidavit stated.
When the girl was in a room without her father, she whispered to the officer that “she was scared for her life,” the affidavit stated.
The girl was placed into the custody of Miami County Children’s Services.
Said remains held on a $250,000 bond in the Miami County Jail.
