A Jonesboro daycare worker was arrested Thursday and charged with one count of cruelty to children.
Ashley Beck was also charged with making false statements to police, according to Jonesboro police Lt. Wayne Woods.
Woods said Beck, who is in her early 20s and lives in Jonesboro, works at A Learn & Play Academy on Gloria Drive.
