A Wisconsin woman was arrested Sunday in Izard County on allegations that she abused a 1-year-old, the sheriff's office said.
Brittney Vasey, 25, of Clayton, Wis., was arrested at a residence in Oxford, where she has stayed for several months, according to a news release issued by Chief Deputy Charley Melton.
Deputies responded to West Spring Hill Road after receiving one call about a domestic disturbance and another saying that Vasey was abusing the child.
Deputies learned that Vasey "had become physically abusive" toward the child and that when adults tried to stop her, she "became abusive" toward them, Melton said.
Witnesses told deputies that Vasey threw a cellphone at the child; pushed the child; dropped the child from 4 feet in the air; and struck the child with her knee, according to a probable-cause affidavit filed with Izard County Circuit Court.
She also is accused of striking adults in the face and scratching their necks, according to the affidavit.
Vasey told deputies that she wanted to travel with her child back to Wisconsin, the affidavit says.
The child was put into the custody of the state Department of Human Services, according to the affidavit.
Deputies charged Vasey with felony domestic battery; felony endangering the welfare of a minor; three counts of misdemeanor battery; and misdemeanor criminal mischief, Melton said.
She is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 18.
