The Leeds Police Department arrested a woman for child abuse after she was accused of spraying her children with bear spray.
According to court documents, Christie Lashay Williams, 36, is charged with child abuse–torture for the incident that occurred on March 8. A complaint states the children were sprayed in the eyes and/or mouth.
Police responded after receiving a call about two small children running down the street. The children were taken to Children’s of Alabama, where they reportedly told officials their mom sprayed them.
Williams was arrested on Monday and placed in the Jefferson County Jail. She posted a $15,000 bond and was released.
