Woman Who Dropped Child Into Cheetah Pit Pleads No Contest

dailymail.co.uk

A Delaware, Ohio woman who dropped her 2-year-old son into a Cleveland zoo cheetah pit has pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of aggravated trespassing.  Michelle Schwab was charged after the boy lunged from her grasp and fell 10 feet last month.  Schwab and her husband jumped into the exhibit to retrieve the boy, who broke his leg in the fall.  She's scheduled to be sentenced next month.
