A Sparta woman was been charged with public intoxication and assault after she allegedly stuck her tongue in a six-month-old child’s mouth at the Ragland Bottom Day Use Area on April 29. According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, Vickie Lenae Alvis, 46, was arrested after a deputy responded to the Ragland Bottom Day Use Area where someone was reportedly causing a disturbance. Upon arrival, the officer spoke to Alvis, who was allegedly very unsteady on her feet, and had a strong odor of alcohol on her person and slurred speech.
