Mikka Shardai Cline Mug Shot The Weird Crime Mug Shot Hall of Shame is filled with people accused of strange and terrible crimes.

But slugging a boy in a wheelchair? That's a new one.

Police say Mikka Shardai Cline, 23, and her sister were trying to take a soccer ball from the 13-year-old boy outside of a Dallas hospital. In the struggle to get the ball, she punched the boy in the head.

And it gets worse: The boy had a medical halo screwed into his skull, which is exactly where police say Cline's blow landed.

Cline has been charged with child abuse. (Petty Disputes) (Weird Crime Mug Shot Hall of Shame)
