A Glendale man has been charged with child abuse and four counts related to DUI for allegedly pushing, grabbing and kicking his three-year-old son at a Glendale Walmart and driving drunk with him in the car.
Just before 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 7, a witness at the Walmart at Camelback Road and Loop 101 reported the behavior of Ricardo Rodriguez, 25, to 911.
Rodriguez and his young son were reportedly in line at the Walmart self-checkout, and the son was holding a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey. The son dropped the bottle, which caused Rodriguez to get upset and grab the child by the back of the neck.
