A white apartment complex manager has been arrested after shocking video showed her slapping and pouring soda on black children using the facility's pool.
Kim Jennings, 62, of Greensboro, North Carolina was taken into custody by police on August 3 after they were called to the Sedgefield Garden Apartments for reports of an assault.
In the viral video, Jennings is seen spraying soda on Jace Lee-Eury, 11, and hitting him in the face with the bottle just outside of the residents-only pool.
She was charged with two counts of assault on a child under the age of 12. Jace told local media that she had also pulled his little sister's hair during the incident.
The woman said that she was infuriated with the kids who have been there before and do not live in the complex but that she 'should've handled it differently.'
'I had a soda in my hand, and I tossed it on him, and then I popped him. I did, I admit I did, and it was wrong,' Jennings told WFMY.
'When you've done it and you've done it and you've done it and you've asked him not to come back. I just reacted. But, I will say that I'm sorry that I did that' she said.
The video lit up social media over the weekend with hundreds weighing in.
According to police, when they arrived at the apartment complex, they spoke with the two kids and their parents about the assault.

The pool is private to the residents of that apartment. The brat does not live in that apartment and keeps going to the pool. The manager has to keep throwing him out. This time the brat was rude and mouthy to the manager so she dumped cola on his had and slapped his face. Now the community is angry at her because she did this AND the father and kid don't understand why the brat can't use a pool that does not belong to them.
The father condoned his brats actions
I don't condone what the manager did but I get why she lost her cool. I do think she should have called the police on the brat.
Then people like this wonder why Scott Adams says the stuff he says
This is the same mentality that says they can shoplift a thousand dollars and walk out of the store unmolested.
The mother probably uses the pool and the apartments to babysit her son so she doesn’t have to
The Entitled Class is entitled to swim in your pool.
Just as they are entitled to shoplift from your store.
And no. You can’t throw soda on them.
I do think she should have called the police on the brat.”
My money is on she has and it got her nowhere
Hmmm.....blacks don’t usually swim well. Just sayin’.
Okay, people in pool that don’t live there, call the police, even close the pool until they arrive, but NEVER assault a kid. Lucky the parent, even if facilitating illegal activity, didn’t kill the apartment manager in self-defense.
The parents have enlisted the legal help of several prominent attorneys including Ben Crump and Jason L. Keith.
In a tweet, Crump called for accountability for the apartment complex manager.
'She has been arrested on two counts of simple assault — now she must be fully held accountable for her attack on these kids,' the attorney wrote.
Because, of course they have.
And if the kid drowned, they’d sue because the apartments failed to keep him out of the pool.
For kids back in the sane days, this was called “learning your lesson.”
You don’t slap a kid. If the child comes 1000 times, you call the cops 1000 times. Eventually the kid will tire of being hauled out by the cops.
You could sue the mother for reimbursement for each documented time the kid uses the pool.
Unless you are a Sikh then you can beat them with a stick
Simple trespass turned into assault once the punk opened his yap.
Virtue-signaling is so much fun, isn't it?
You ain't gonna like Anarcho-Tyranny when it comes to YOUR front door.
Mouthy little lying brat. Perhaps his parents could have ‘handled things differently’ and simply advised him that ‘That’s what happens when you trespass, mouth off, and refuse to leave the property!’ Or, if had been MY parents, and I came whining with this story, simply “GOOD! You’re grounded for a week.”
Pouring the soda is one thing. Once you touch anybody, it’s over. You’re wrong frustrated or not. She should definitely be charged with assault and perhaps a lawsuit. Calling the police would have been the prudent answer. Afterall they ended up there anyway.
Do you just troll on FR all day?
While the events within this article may be somewhat true, what makes this Fake News is that is is slanted Yellow Journalism designed to distort events, create conflict and controversy, and showcase white people as racists, fools, bigots and White Supremacists.
Good for the parents. Since when is slapping a child ok? And one you don’t even know.
Not your pool kid. Not condoning the slap but in the olden days that’s a tickle.
