The case against a Frankfort woman who was arrested after police say she allegedly used a stun gun on her 6-year-old son has been sent to a grand jury.

Mary Cirillo is charged with criminal abuse in the first degree.

She was arrested after she allegedly used a stun gun on her 6-year-old son because he was misbehaving and wanted strawberry milk, a citation says.

According to a citation, police say Cirillo let her boyfriend use a stun gun on her son in late June.

Cirillo admitted to police she allowed it because the child was misbehaving. She claims she wasn't trying to hurt her son, a citation says.

In July, police say Cirillo used the stun gun on her child. She allegedly told them she was high on meth and marijuana when she did it and wasn't in the right state of mind.

Cirillo said the child was acting up and wanted strawberry milk.

Her cash bond is set at $20,000 full cash.
