POSTED: Wednesday, January 9, 2008
UPDATED: 7:54 pm EST January 9, 2008

Police tell Local 4 a Westland man who said he wanted his girlfriend to have an abortion is accused of making it happen, when she refused.

The woman lost the baby, and now the boyfriend is charged with beating her.

Last week Daniel Jarrett II showed up while his girlfriend was visiting from Texas and staying at a friend's apartment near Warren and Central City in Westland.

Two witnesses told police Jarrett punched and kicked her in the stomach.

His 19-year-old girlfriend was six months pregnant.

She miscarried a couple of days later, and Jarrett turned himself in to police last weekend.

On Wednesday, Jarrett was charged with a felony, which carries a possible 20-year sentence.

He pleaded not guilty.
