Infant doused with pepper spray as families brawl at Idaho Wal-Mart

PONDERAY, Idaho - A woman doused a two-month-old girl with pepper spray while feuding with the infant's family in an Idaho Wal-Mart, police said.



Lorlie Gantenbein, 36, of Sagle, Idaho, was charged Tuesday with felony injury to a child. She was released after posting $5,000 bail.

The infant was recovering at home after being sprayed Monday, Police Chief Mike Hutter said. The baby was treated at a hospital.

The cause of the dispute between the families was not immediately known.

"It sounded like this has been going on for a while," Hutter told the Bonner County Daily Bee newspaper.

"It just escalated."

Police said Gantenbein's 16-year-old daughter sprayed the infant's grandmother and aunt, one of whom was holding the child. Gantenbein then took the canister and sprayed the baby, authorities said. The juvenile was cited with two counts of battery.

Target

And that is awful for that 2-month old. Gezz, that stuff burns badly. I'd be suprised if the baby DIDN'T have eye damage. Fricken morans. That is why I don't carry my issued pepper spray. I just KNOW I'd end up with it in my own eyes.

Even Target is getting Tardmart overflow. I usually just need stuff from the front of Tardmart and I run in and out as fast as I can.

Gantenbein said she bought the spray for her daughter as tensions rose between the two families after the Gantenbeins rented property to the baby's family and then evicted them. The feud escalated when her daughter began dating the baby's father, she added.
