Florida Woman Uses Bear Mace on 3-Year-Old Over Blowing Bubbles: Police
An 81-year-old Florida woman has been arrested and accused of using bear mace against her neighbor's 3- and 6-year-old children after they were blowing bubbles in their own driveway. Ada Anderson was taken into custody following the incident on May 30, 2025, in Ocala, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office's (MCSO) probable cause arrest affidavit. Anderson is also accused of spraying bear mace at the girls' mother, April Morant, who told authorities that Anderson, who is white, also yelled racial slurs at the children, who are Black, during the incident. Zach Moore, public information officer at the Marion County Sheriff's Office, told Newsweek that Anderson's charges are felonies due to the racial slurs she allegedly yelled. According to physicians, the use of pepper spray on children-which is weaker than bear mace can lead to lasting physical, neurological, and psychological damage. The chemical irritants can impact a child's developing lungs, causing asthma, and may lead to nerve damage if they enter the brain. Being pepper-sprayed can also lead to lasting psychological trauma. According to Anderson's arrest report, the children were blowing bubbles in their driveway when the suspect walked over to the fence separating their two properties. She then pulled out the bear mace and sprayed the children and their mother, per police. Anderson used the n-word while spraying the family, Morant told police. Morant also told police this is not the first time they have been subjected to racial slurs from Anderson. She provided video evidence of this to the MCSO. Morant told the MCSO that she and her children were hit with the spray and that her lungs were in pain. The 6-year-old child told police her nose hurt from the spray, and the 3-year-old was not interviewed by police. Officer Wesley Kenny, who filed the affidavit, said he observed an orange/brown substance on the fence and that deputies on the scene experienced irritation when smelling the substance. He identified the substance to be pepper spray based on his experience in the field. The terms pepper spray and bear mace are used interchangeably in the affidavit, despite them being two different substances. It is unclear at this time which was used. Moore told Newsweek: "Deputies did not recover the canister used during the crime; however, Deputy Kenny observed the substance on the ground and identified it as pepper spray in his report." The affidavit also states that Anderson told police the girls were yelling at her from their fence, so she sprayed the substance at the girls. She said they were not hit by it. April Morant told news station WSAZ: "Bubbles. Literally, the bubbles put [Anderson] in a whole other arena, whatever was going on with her mind. What went through my head is I thought she had a gun, so I literally kind of jumped, like it startled me…I didn't know what was in her hand…and then she sprayed it." Anderson is being charged with three counts of battery in the second degree. The second-degree aspect of the charge is because the alleged attack was racially motivated. She has posted bond for her charges after initially being held at the Marion County Jail. Morant is attempting to get a restraining order against her, according to WSAZ. Moore told Newsweek: "According to the Marion County Clerk of the Court's record search, her arraignment is scheduled for July 1, 2025, at 9.00 a.m." Update 6/5/25, 9:29 a.m. ET: This article was updated with comment from Zach Moore, public information officer at the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

Remembering Brenda Cowan, Lexington's first Black woman firefighter
Editor's Note: As Lexington celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding, the Herald-Leader and each day throughout 2025 will share interesting facts about our hometown. Compiled by Liz Carey, all are notable moments in the city's history — some funny, some sad, others heartbreaking or celebratory, and some just downright strange. Lexington's first Black woman who was a firefighter, Lieutenant Brenda Cowan, died in the line of duty. She died Feb. 13, 2004, when she was shot at the scene of a domestic dispute. She had been a firefighter for 12 years and was 40 years old, and had been promoted to lieutenant just days prior to her death. Cowan grew up in Sturgis and graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in psychology. An avid fan of the Lady Cats basketball team, she was a Wildcat Lodge Little Sister and became lifelong friends with members of thewomen's basketball team. After graduation, she joined the Lexington Fire Department, where she was widely respected. 'She just had an affectionate smile and personality that just made you feel good, and it was a joy to work with her,' Lt. Gavin McMenama told the Lexington Herald-Leader. 'She was a very good fireman. She was just an even better human being and just a pleasure to be with and make doing our jobs, sometimes when it's tough, made a lot easier for how she handled things and how she approached things.' Lexington's first Black female firefighter honored on 20th anniversary of her death Cowan had just been promoted to lieutenant when sheresponded to a domestic violence call in south Lexington. Fontaine Hutchinson had been shot in the head by her husband, Patrick Hutchinson. When other emergency crew members arrived on scene, Cowan and another firefighter, Jim Sanford, approached the house to get to the injured woman. However, Patrick Hutchinson fired on them, striking both multiple times. Hutchinson told Herald-Leader reporter Janet Patton he was staging a coup against alien-created human clones, and that he shot his wife because she had been taken over by the aliens and had a radio in her head. According to him, aliens had taken over the federal government. 'There's only 735 humans left in Lexington, and about 3 million left worldwide,' he told reporters. His actions, he said, were the beginning of an Armageddon, and he had been told by a snake carrying a branch he was the leader of the 'tribe of the stick,' with more than 250 panther-tiger and thousands of cobra members. Hutchinson barricaded himself in his house on Adams Lane near I-75. Police negotiated with Hutchinson as four first responders trapped in their vehicle were rescued. Crews extracted Cowan and Sanford as law enforcement began negotiations with Hutchinson. After a six-hour standoff, chemicals shot into the building forced Hutchinson from his home. Cowan died at the hospital. Her death marked the first Black woman firefighter to die in the line of duty in the United States. Her loss and legacy were felt throughout the community. An elementary school in Lexington, Brenda Cowan Elementary, was named after her and the Lexington Fire Department began hosting an annual fire camp for girls in her honor. Hutchinson was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. He pleaded guilty but mentally ill in 2008 and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He is currently 66 years old and lodged at the Kentucky State Reformatory. Hutchinson is eligible for parole in 2028, and his sentence ends Dec. 3, 2033.
