CINCINNATI (AP) - Police say a woman has been arrested for allegedly spanking another person's 2-year-old son in a Cincinnati store.
Gloria Ballard was due in a Hamilton County on Wednesday to face an assault charge.
Cincinnati police say the toddler said something that apparently annoyed Ballard inside a Salvation Army store on Tuesday. Police say she then told the boy's mother she didn't know how to take care of her son, put him over her knee, and spanked him three times.
Police say the two women didn't know each other and that the 44-year-old Ballard wasn't given permission to touch the child.
There was no attorney listed for Ballard.
