A Midland woman was arrested Sunday after allegedly throwing a cup of ice at a child’s face.

Christina Price, 45, has been released on bond for a state felony charge of injury to a child.

Price and a child under the age of 14 were arguing and Price allegedly threw a 20-ounce paper cup partially filled with ice at the child, striking the child in the face, according to her arrest affidavit.

Price had permission to discipline the child but Price allegedly would intimidate household members, according to the affidavit. Striking the child with a cup “did not constitute reasonable discipline,” a witness told police.

Price told police that the child was running at her and she threw the cup, according to the affidavit.

If found guilty of a state felony, Price could face up to two years in jail.
