A Whitehall woman and her Queensbury boyfriend face misdemeanor charges after allegedly allowing the woman’s 15-year-old daughter to get a tattoo.
On Tuesday, Whitehall police received a referral from Washington County Child Protection Service, indicating a child had received an illegal tattoo.
Police said Lettie L. Easton, 42, was interviewed regarding the allegation and Easton confirmed she gave her daughter permission to get a tattoo and her boyfriend, Matthew J. Bennett, 37, provided the service.
Both Easton and Bennett were charged with tattooing a child less than 18 years old, a misdemeanor, and were released to appear in court at a later date.
Whitehall officer Damian Duffy handled the arrest.
