San Antonio police: Man stuck jalapeño into boy's eye

[TexasTowelie]

SAN ANTONIO — Police arrested a man Thursday after he reportedly stuck a jalapeño pepper into the eye of a 9-year-old boy on the Northwest Side.

Michael Barron, 29, told the boy's mother about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday that he was going to shove a jalapeño pepper into the boy's mouth, said Sandy Gutierrez, spokeswoman for the San Antonio Police Department.

The mother warned Barron not to touch the child, Gutierrez said.

At that point, Barron reached over the table and “intentionally” stuck the pepper into the boy's left eye, Gutierrez said.

1. Imbecile!

What a bastard! I have forgotten to wash my hands after cutting up a jalapeno and then wipe my eyes. I can attest this was not fun for the kid.

I hope they throw the scumbag in prison for child abuse.

2. Man that hurts

Cutting and eating Jalapeños and then putting my contacts in has been a wake up call several times.
Poor little boy and I hope that jerk pays for this.

at home? on the street? in a restaurant? did they know each other?

So many questions I have.
