Police say a 53-year-old Ohio landlord whipped a 29-year-old tenant’s bare butt with a belt because the tenant had fallen behind (pun intended) on his rent.

“Ron Kronenberger, 53, is charged with assault. He owns Hometown Market in Waynesville. The incident allegedly happened in the back office of the store last month,” an ABC affiliate in Ohio reports.
------
The tenant owed $2,800 in back rent, according to Waynesville police.

“If you’re going to act like a child I’m going to treat you like one,” Kronenberger allegedly told the 29-year-old man (we can’t stress the tenant’s age enough).
------
According to the report, “Mr. Kronenberger spanked the tenant four times on the rear with his belt. … (The tenant) stated he was scared and just wanted to get it over with.”

“The victim told police he complied with Kronenberger’s demands and bent over, placing his hands on a chair,” the report adds.

Police say the spanking left “little marks on the unnamed tenant’s tush.

Never rent from this guy:

I applaud the reporter for using the correct words in the headline.

The victim is a 29-year-old male. He is not a man.
