Georgia Kroger shopper, Juan Guvarra Martinez, was taken into custody after allegedly spanking a couple’s 2-year-old child while they waited in the a Kroger checkout line. Martinez did not know the couple or the child.
Martinez, 62, was arrested after he allegedly spanked a child not related to him at a Newnan, Kroger earlier this week.
The father of the child told police Martinez was intoxicated when he grabbed his son by the arm and spanked him at the self-checkout line. The father said store employees were quick to separate the parties, according to the police report. Martinez was still in line when officers arrived. When asked about the incident, he told police the boy was “doing something with a candy bar.” The report stated Martinez’s eyes were bloodshot and there was a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person.” source
Police stated Martinez’s speech was slurred and he began to cuss in front of employees and customers.
Martinez was then handcuffed and taken out of the store.
Once inside the patrol car, the police report stated Martinez began kicking the doors and windows. Police said at the jail, he would not respond to staff leading staff to call an ambulance.
Martinez was cleared by Newnan Piedmont Hospital Emergency room and transported back to the Coweta County Jail where he was turned over to the booking staff without incident.
Martinez was charged with battery, disorderly conduct, and obstruction of officers.

If I was the dad I would have folded him and stomped his head till his eyes popped out!
Oh HELL NO!!!!! If some asshole touched my child.....nobody would have to wait till the police got there because this bitch momma bear would have taken that drunk asshole down herself and he would have been in much worse shape than the shape he was in when he got in the police car. OH HELL NO!!!!!!
I'm right with ya momma bear! I'd the same thing.
YOU are what's wrong in AMERICA---Be a Parent to your child, not a buddy!!!! SPANK THAT ASS!!!
I guess you invite strangers to come on over and beat your kids ass while you have another beer and watch. You are definitely part of the problem, not any solutions.
its a 2 year old you dumb idiot!
What is discipline in his country, is not in ours. #BuildTheWall
And this is how we take out the trash in America. Father takes the alien outside and introduces his face to the concrete for a bit of diversity training.
Looks to me like the drunk needed his nose broken, drug outside and dicked down the highway.
The Drunk was the sanest person there...
People like you scare me to think you might bring children into this world. I would seriously worry for them.
In California it would be considered "racist" not to appreciate the assistance of someone from a different country.
