The reporting party, mother of the child, stated her stepfather, identified as Donald Green, 41 years of age male, witness the child victim, 6 years of age male, having a temper tantrum. Green took the child into a bedroom, bend the child over his knee, and began striking the child repeatedly with a belt. The mother attempted to remove the child from Green and there was a struggle and Green threatened to knock her teeth "down her throat".

There were numerous marks on the child's buttocks consistent with a belt. Officers were able to locate Green at his residence and he confessed to striking the child victim with a belt. Green was arrested and transported to the Pike County Jail on 24-hour hold, pending the issuance of an arrest warrant.
