A mother was arrested for child abuse after police saw her punch her son in the face – and all because of a Taco Bell burrito.

Lorretta Lynn Armstrong, of West Virginia, was arrested at 7 p.m. on Friday when officers arrived at a home to find her striking her teenage son in the face, according to WOWK.  The woman was upset because her son ordered her the wrong burrito.

Officers pulled the woman off and attempted to cuff her – when she began screaming,cussing, and then threw herself on the ground and rolled around.

The woman was checked out by paramedics and placed in the back of a police cruiser where she continued to scream and cuss at police officers. She also told the cops that was going to “get” them.

Armstrong’s oldest son, Jesse, told reporters that she was a peaceful churchgoing woman who wouldn’t hurt a fly.

The teenager was referred to Child Protective Service.
