A 30-year-old Memphis man is accused of severely beating a toddler for allegedly eating the last slice of a cheesecake. Anthony Gulledge and Katrina Johnson, the child’s mother have both been charged with aggravated child abuse.
Authorities say the beating was so severe that the 3-year-old boy sustained serious injuries, including a broken femur bone in his leg and a dislocated vertebrae.
Police say Gulledge allegedly beat the child after he came home and discovered that the toddler had eaten the last slice of cheesecake. He reportedly dragged the boy out of his bedroom by his ankles, then brutally beat him with a belt. The child’s mother claims Gulledge later hit her son again.
Johnson, for some reason didn't take her son to the hospital until the next day. Once doctors examined the boy, they discovered several injuries and called police.
Katrina Johnson has been charged since police say she allegedly did nothing to stop the beating and then waited a day until finally doing something about it. According to officials, by state law, Johnson is obligated to report the abuse the day it happens.
Anthony Gulledge, has been charged with neglect, aggravated child abuse and domestic assault. He is being held on a $210,000 bond.
According to police records, police have been called to the same house several times in the past for domestic assault.
