An Arizona mother was arrested Saturday night after she reportedly called authorities herself to say she had hit one of her children.
Sarah, 32, was booked on suspicion of child abuse and disorderly conduct, according to PEOPLE. Police in Wickenburg say she told them she hit one child in the face, kicked another and picked up a third child by the neck. Court documents cited by WMAZ say the incident began after the children refused to wear masks even though they had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Police say Sarah left the home before officers arrived, but they found her walking along a nearby street shortly afterward. According to police, she ignored orders to stop and assaulted officers when they tried to take her into custody. PEOPLE reports that officers used a stun gun to subdue her.
She was taken to the Maricopa County Jail and later released after posting a $5,000 bond. Court documents list her next court date as January 6. Charges are allegations, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. A response from her side was not included in the initial reports.
