Daycare director arrested for allegedly assaulting a toddler | WCTI

A daycare director was arrested on a charge of assault against a two-year-old child.

Shannon Jacobs, of Winterville, turned herself into the Pitt County Magistrate's Office on Friday afternoon after Greenville Police detectives obtained a warrant charging her with misdemeanor assault of a child under 12. She bonded out on a $3,000 bond the same day.

The alleged assault was reported to police on April 13, the day after the alleged offense. Greenville Police officials said Jacobs notified the child's parents that she had disciplined their child by allegedly striking him with a paint stirrer. When the parents picked up the child from the daycare, he had visible injuries on his left arm and left leg. The parents then filed a police report.

Jacobs is listed as the daycare director for Trinity Christian School. When we reached out to the school, an employee directed us to a statement on their website. It reads as follow,,,
