A mother and her niece were arrested after the two allegedly started a brawl at a Eunice Walmart and the mother discarded her infant in the trash can, authorities said.
Brionka Benjamin, 38, of Opelousas, and Makatelynn Benjamin, 20, of Opelousas, were both arrested Saturday after the two incited a brawl outside of the Walmart in Eunice, according to a statement from the Eunice Police Department.
By the time police arrived around 3:30 p.m., the fight had dissolved. Upon further investigation, surveillance footage appeared to show Brionka Benjamin, mother of a 6-month-old infant, tossing her child into a nearby trash can before striking another person.
"She wanted to free her hands so she could fight, isn't that something?" Eunice Police Chief Kyle LeBouef said.
The infant was unharmed and released to other family members.
The fight occurred after the two women saw someone in the store they did not like, according to LeBouef.
Brionka Benjamin faces a charge of simply battery and cruelty to juveniles. Makatelynn Benjamin faces one count of simple battery.
Thanks.
“Was the black national anthem played as they tossed the child?”
*laughing inappropriately*
This is like the bit in the old Carol Burnett show soap opera spoof “As The Stomach Turns”.
Often the wayward daughter would return home, baby in arms, and just dump in it the umbrella stand. That cracked me up.
This story, not as funny mum, not as funny!
You bet I kept my mouth shut, but after I left, I was laughing so hard I could barely drive.
No. I was caught off guard so I kept quiet and moved on.
What is PiR?
The names get more and more ridiculous in that rotten culture. What a way to doom your child before it even gets a chance.
The price is right game show

Animals kill and eat their young.
Got it.
