A 54-year-old Little Rock woman babysitting her grandkids Monday night was arrested after she choked the children and prodded them with a knife, police said.

Cloree Whitlock was watching two of her grandkids at her home on Windsor Circle sometime before 11:20 p.m., according to a Little Rock Police Department report.

Whitlock got into an argument with the children over $10 and then threw Kool-Aid on one of them, the report said. She then choked the grandkids one at a time while poking their arms with a knife, police said.

Whitlock was arrested on two counts of aggravated assault on a family member, a class D felony. She is being held without bond.

A court date is scheduled for July 26.
