A Bossier City woman was arrested on Christmas Eve for simple battery of the infirmed, cruelty to a juvenile and simple battery, according to Bossier Parish Sheriff Larry Deen.
While holding her 11-month-old baby in one arm, Sabra Nicole Tunstall, 32, of the 5200 block of John Wilson Drive, began a physical altercation with her 77-year-old grandmother and uncle. The grandmother and uncle were trying to get the child away from Tunstall who had been drinking all day and was trying to leave the residence.
Tunstall, while still holding the child, began to hit both relatives. She caused a severe skin tear on the grandmother’s right arm. When deputies arrived on scene, Tunstall was holding her baby with her left arm, while hitting her grandmother with her right arm.
Tunstall was arrested and transported to the Bossier Maximum Security Facility. Her bond was set at $7,000.
