A 10-year-old African-American child was reduced to tears last week after he was arrested and hauled off to jail for urinating behind his mother's car.
Cops in Senatobia, a Mississippi town set just south of Memphis, have since apologized for the incident - with the local sheriff now calling the arresting officer's actions an 'error in judgement.'
The child's mother, Latonya Eason, said the August 10 arrest could have been easily avoided and that the responding officer went overboard by carting son Quantavious off to jail.
She said she was visiting her attorney's office when her son committed the public indecency infraction - which usually only warrants a ticket - and was inside when the unnamed cop came marching in to tell her what her son had done.
The furious mom said the officer was at first going to let the child off with a warning, but had a change of heart once other cops came on the scene. A lieutenant allegedly demanded cops take him in to be hit with a statute for being left unattended.
Scroll down for video:
Eason spoke about the incident this week with FOX 13 Memphis, remembering how within 10 minutes of walking into her attorney’s office for legal advice, the first officer on the scene interrupted the meeting to tell her what her son had done.
'I was like, "Son, why did you do that?"' she recalled, after being brought out to the facility's parking lot at 216 S Ward Street, where her son had been waiting.

You know there is more to this story.
The boy’s name is Quantavious, he was arrested for public urination. Wanna bet he was making a public display of it.
Quantavious? I have to say I think you might be right. I can hear in my mind some ghettolicious chick saying “Quantavious just be hood rattin’ like a hood rat, baby!”
THAT WORKS!!!!
The mother should have kept an empty juice bottle in the car for the kid.
Take care of it Trailer Park Boys style.
“Way of the road, Bub!”
lolol...
Poor kid, he could get Uromysitisis poisoning

Yep. Latonya and Quantavious. The jokes write themselves.
Oh...nevermind
Female truck drivers?
A ten year old kid having a pee? You really want to go down the racism road for that?
This place used to have intelligent discussions.
Now it’s a damn sight less than that.
Yet I still pay, and come here...
And BTW....if race pimps like "Reverend" Al wants to get involved here all I say is "Fornicate you,you tax cheat!
It sure ain’t Mayberry any more.
Thanks!
“It sure ain’t Mayberry any more.”
This is Mayberry Ghetto style.
This story? Was “Opie and the spoiled kid” episode. In the ghetto, the sheriff had to arrest the spoiled kid. There is no father, just a baby daddy who is never around. We know this because only the mom spoke to the press. Mom Latonya is in the legal office for seeking advice for her past crimes while the “spoiled kid” Quantavious is out cutting up in the parking lot.
“arresting officer’s actions an ‘error in judgement”
Send these guys to San Francisco
where their error in judgement
can be put to good use.
There’d also be lots of overtime.
He was not arrested for public urination. He was brought in for a referral for being unattended. This is so it can be documented so they know if it happens again.
Classic
I wonder if you know how racist your comment sounded. The mother may have been seeking help with child support (as many white women must also do), or she may have been trying to sort out a problem neighbor, settle her parents’ estate or start a business.
The child looked very sweet and had a pleasant, open expression — no thug scowl.
I’ve lived in highly integrated areas (DC-Baltimore-Philly) all of my long life. There are many good, hard-working middle class blacks who do not fit your stereotypes. And yes, some of them still use cringy names or speak ebonics, even with masters’ or professional degrees.
Media always looking for a bogus racism story to pimp.
Says the dork named Osage Orange. :-)
