A $150,000 bond has been set for the 68-year old man accused of punching kids in the back of the head at Walmart while their parents weren’t looking.

Ralph would put his keys between his knuckles and wack children while their parents were entranced by Walmarts fabulous bargains. He said he did it for “the thrill” of getting away with it, and that he’d been doing it since January. His lawyer say he has mental health issues.

Police suspect there have been other incidents that were not reported, likely because parents weren’t sure what had caused their children to cry.

The judge has ordered Ralph to stay out of Walmarts.
