A pregnant Dayton woman is in jail on several misdemeanor charges that include child endangering after sheriff’s deputies and witnesses said she spanked her toddler very hard, then dragged the child out of the Montgomery County Job Center on Friday.

When Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies approached 25-year-old Danielle Foster at her car outside the Job Center on Edwin C. Moses Boulevard, they said she fought with them and resisted arrest.

According to jail records, Foster is being detained on charges of child endangering, disorderly conduct, obstructing official business and resisting arrest.

Several witnesses questioned how deputies and Job Center security guards handled the situation, saying that they were too rough with the pregnant woman.

“This is a pregnant woman. I don’t think that was called for,” said Gary Pullen, who witnessed Foster spanking her child, but said it was not excessive. “I believe the lady could have been dealt with a lot better,” he told WHIO-TV.
