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.

We use the trespass citation. It’s an official written warning by law enforcement (we usually also snap and print a picture of the person).
If they violate the trespass citation, they are immediately arrested.
The second time that brat and his friends trespassed, they would have been hauled away by police.
Yawl didn’t grow up in a city. Pay some kids to keep him from touching the sides of the pool and moving him towards the deep end. He’ll quit coming
