Mother involved in Walmart brawl arrested

June 12, 2015

One of the women involved in the Indiana Walmart brawl has been arrested.

Fox 59 reports that Amber Stephenson has been charged with neglect of a dependent and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Stephenson was taken into custody Friday afternoon.

During a radio interview earlier this week, Stephenson said the fight started because she was defending a Walmart employee who had been called a racial slur by the other woman involved in the fight. Stephenson also claimed that her 6-year-old son was being raised "perfectly right" despite being seen in the viral video striking the other woman during the brawl.

The Marion County Prosecutor’s office says that the other woman will not face charges.
