Man arrested for tattooing child at McDonald’s

LAURENS, SC (AP) – Authorities in Laurens, South Carolina, say a 28-year-old man faces charges after tattooing a child at a fast food restaurant.

Laurens Police said local resident Brandon Presha was arrested on Tuesday for illegal tattooing and tattooing of minors.

WYFF-TV reports that Laurens Police Chief Chrissie Latimore said a judge has set bail for both counts at $ 25,000.

Latimore says the August 6 incident was brought to the attention of police last week after some detectives were tagged on social media posts showing a video of the child getting a tattoo.

Presha is in custody and it is not known if he has a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.
