ROCKLEDGE, Fla. – A Rockledge woman is facing a felony child abuse charge and is being held for federal immigration authorities following her arrest Tuesday night.
According to an arrest affidavit from the Rockledge Police Department, officers responded on August 12, 2025, to a home on Brookview Lane after receiving reports of a domestic incident involving a minor. Investigators say 50-year-old Mayra Oralia Grijalva Garcia knowingly struck the victim on the left arm with a belt, leaving visible marks approximately one inch wide — consistent with being hit by a belt.

The affidavit states the incident began as a verbal argument. When the victim refused to comply with her commands, Grijalva Garcia allegedly escalated the situation by striking him two or more times with the belt. Officers documented and photographed the injuries, which were also observed by another officer on scene.
