LEEDS, Ala. A woman has been taken into police custody and charged with several very serious crimes.

Police in Leeds, Alabama were called to a residence after several children were sprayed with a chemical agent which police later identified as “bear spray”.

 Police said that Christie Lashay Williams, 36, sprayed her own children and is charged with child abuse–torture for the incident that occurred on March 8.
A complaint states the children were sprayed in the eyes and/or mouth.

Police initially responded after receiving a call about two small children running down the street. The children were taken to Children’s of Alabama, where they reportedly told officials their mom sprayed them.

Williams was arrested on Monday and placed in the Jefferson County Jail.

She posted a $15,000 bond and was released.
