SALEM, S.C. (AP) -- Authorities say a 22-year-old man high on methamphetamines killed a 7-month-old baby by squeezing her until she became quiet in his South Carolina home.

Deputies say Rogers was taking care of the baby after using drugs, but didn't detail any relationship with the girl. The death happened in Rogers' home in Sunset.

Rogers was awaiting a bond hearing.  He is being held in the Oconee County Detention Center.
