Indiana police arrest mother involved in vicious Walmart fight

BEECH GROVE, Ind. -- One of two women who were caught on camera fighting in the shampoo aisle at an Indiana Walmart has been arrested, ABC affiliate WRTV reports.

Police arrested Amber Stephenson, 34, on preliminary charges of child neglect, a felony, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor.

The video, posted to YouTube on June 4, shows Stephenson begin fighting with Rebecca Mills, 39. Stephenson can be heard telling her 6-year-old son to hit Mills in the face. The child complies and is seen hitting Mills with his fists and with shampoo bottles.

There were several onlookers who watched the fight, but none of them stepped in to stop it.

Police then began working to identify the two women in the video. On Wednesday, Stephenson came forward and tried to defend herself on a radio show.

"(The woman) was sitting there yelling at an employee at Walmart, and she was telling her that she was a (expletive) and that she was going to get out of the chair and whoop her (expletive)," Stephenson told the Smiley Morning Show. "She used the 'n-word,' so in my defense, I was standing up for the employee."

Police arrested Stephenson two days after that radio interview. Prosecutors tell WRTV that Mills will not face any charges related to the fight.

Walmart did issue a statement to WXIN-TV, reading in part:
