EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- A woman who had been drinking and unhappy with the way her son cleaned his bedroom allegedly punched the boy in the head and attacked him with an extension cord and an ashtray, police said.

Kimberly Basinger, 34, of Evansville, was arrested Tuesday and charged with child neglect resulting in injury and public intoxication. Her son, whose age was not released, suffered bruises near his right eye, an abrasion on the back of one leg and had some bumps on his head, according to an Evansville police report.

The confrontation began when Basinger checked her son's bedroom that she asked him to clean earlier Tuesday evening, which he did, the report said.

But Basinger was not pleased with his effort and yelled at the boy. According to the report, she punched him in the head and stomach and knocked him to the floor.

She grabbed an extension cord and whipped it at his legs. She also beat him with an ashtray, the report said.

The boy pushed his mother away and ran to a neighbor's house, the report said. The boy told police that his mother had been drinking. Basinger was being held in the Vanderburgh County Jail on Wednesday night on a $10,000 cash bond.
