COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A Columbus woman accused of using a stun gun to shock her then 13-year-old daughter has pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of negligent child abuse.

42-year-old Ruby Baeta entered her plea Wednesday. She had been charged with intentional child abuse.

Columbus police say the girl and her 16-year-old sister reported that their mother shocked the younger girl in July. An officer said he saw two bumps on the girl that he says could have been caused by a stun gun.

The officer said Baeta denied shocking the girl and denied owning a stun gun, but that he found a stun gun in a suitcase in a closet in the home.

Baeta is scheduled to be sentenced on March 30.
