Roger Stephens slapped a 2 year old child in Walmart several times after warning the toddler's mother to keep her quiet.
The incident happened Monday at the Walmart store near Atlanta, Georgia. A little girl and her mother were shopping when she began crying.
Roger Stephens, 61, walked up to the mother and allegedly said, "If you don't shut the baby up, I will shut her up for you."
A few moments later, Stephens allegedly grabbed the girl and slapped her four times, then told the mother, "See, I told you I would shut her up."
Stephens was stopped by another shopper and security was called. He was arrested and charged with cruelty with children in the first degree, which is a felony.
He appeared in court on Tuesday and is currently being held at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.
