Pepper spray leads to woman’s arrest

A woman angry that none of her relatives would watch her children responded by spraying pepper spray inside her mother’s house on June 19.

Tiberia Nash, 19, allegedly brought her children over to her mother’s house at 2860 North St. and got into an argument with her brother over who would watch them, an affidavit of probable cause said.

When Nash became angry, she went out to her car to get a container of pepper spray, which she then sprayed inside of the house, the affidavit said.

Four children watching television in the living room ran outside coughing, the affidavit said. All four had red, watery eyes.

Nash told officers she had intended to spray her brother but ended up spraying the inside of the house, the affidavit said.

Nash, 5617 Prescott Road, Apt. 66, was booked into Parish Prison on Tuesday on a count of cruelty to juveniles, booking documents show. Her bond was set at $10,000.
