Mom Accused Of Shaking Child In Courtroom

CINCINNATI -- Deputies didn't have to go far from the Hamilton County courthouse to arrest a woman on charges of child endangering on Thursday.

Deputies said Ranisha Jones was in Judge Richard Bernat’s courtroom on Thursday morning when her 1-year-old daughter started crying.

Jones was ordered to leave the courtroom, but became agitated and disorderly, deputies said.

Jones was taken to another courtroom to be issued a disorderly conduct citation.

While in the courtroom, deputies said Jones continued to be disorderly. When her daughter started crying again, deputies said Jones held the girl up by her armpits, shaking the child back and forth as she screamed at the child to shut up and continued to blame the child for her troubles.

Deputies quickly took the child from Jones, who was charged with disorderly conduct and child endangering.

The girl was placed with another family member by Children Services.
