A Little Rock man attacked a 2-year-old boy Wednesday for "wasting Kool-Aid" and then told the child's mother that he would "break his ... arm next time," according to a police report.

A 2-year-old was left in the care of Jeremy Richards, 32, for seven hours Wednesday, and when the child's mother came home, she noticed injuries on the child's back, stomach and face, a report for Richards' arrest said. Officers reported seeing the injuries first-hand when the woman reported the assault.

Officers arrested Richards on a charge of second-degree domestic battery and transported him to the Pulaski County jail, where he remained as of Thursday evening in lieu of a $40,000 bond.
