Aaron Culpepper's Mama Said All He Did Was "Jack Up" His 11YO Niece

Officers were allegedly flagged down by the victim herself, who was said to be crying uncontrollably, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Miami-based Fox and ABC affiliate WSVN and local independent TV station WPLG.

During an interview, the child said the dispute began innocently enough when her cousin took her shoe, according to law enforcement. In reprisal, the victim said, she took her cousin's scooter.

But then the argument escalated.

The escalation came when the girl's cousin spoke with Aaron D. Culpepper, 32, and told him about the dispute between the two children.

Culpepper allegedly responded with violence.

The victim said her uncle grabbed her by the chest area while gripping her shirt, then grabbed her face and banged her head against the wall over and over, according to the arrest affidavit.

After being read his Miranda rights, the defendant agreed to speak with investigators, according to the affidavit. While the great majority of Culpepper's comments are redacted in the charging document, the girl's uncle outright denied pushing his niece's head into the wall, police said.

The defendant's mother also took issue with the little girl's upshot of the incident, while generally giving investigators a similar account of what happened except for how things ended, telling police that "all he did was jack her up," according to the charging document.

One officer wrote that he "noticed a bump on the back of her head," the affidavit says.
