GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The man accused of assaulting his wife at a Cedar Springs daycare earlier this month has pleaded guilty.

Thomas Cronkright pulled out a gun and threatened his wife, Ericka, while she had an 8-month-old girl in her arms, according to the Kent County Sheriff’s Office.

The daycare they ran was shut down just days before due to meth use, according to documents obtained from the state of Michigan.
