Wal-Mart Baby Slapper in Aisle 3

Roger Stephens, 61, was just having a routine shopping experience until a two year old ruined it by screaming.
Stephens politely ask the mother, Sonya Mathews, to

"shut that kid up or I will shut her up for you,"

according to the police report.

A few moments later, in another aisle, Stephens grabbed the 2-year-old and slapped her across the face four or five times,
Stephens then told Mathews, “See, I told you I would shut her up,” according to the report.

Mathews was detained by a bystander until police arrived. When questioned, the 61-year-old man explained that while he had indeed slapped a strange baby across the face, he apologized to her mother afterward. Although he was ever so polite, he was arrested anyway for felony cruelty to children.
