Hattie Reynolds told officers that she hit her granddaughter, Janeen Williams, because Williams would neither get out of her bed nor leave her home on Loomis Avenue, and that Williams was screaming and swearing at her, police said.
"She don't listen to me," Reynolds told a dispatcher. "She won't get out. I don't want no trouble."
Williams was not injured and did not want to press charges, but Reynolds was arrested anyway, according to a news release.
Williams does not live with Reynolds.
According to the Associated Press, Daytona Beach Police Chief Craig Capri said that Reynolds probably wasn't a threat, but her admission of slapping her granddaughter in the face with a slipper qualified as domestic violence.
Reynolds was charged with battery. A judge released Reynolds on her own recognizance, records show.
