FISHER, Associate Judge.
Appellant Elaine Jones challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support her convictions for second-degree cruelty to children and attempted possession of a prohibited weapon — pepper spray (attempted PPW (b)). We affirm the judgment for cruelty, but reverse as to attempted PPW (b) because the government's evidence was insufficient to prove that pepper spray was an "other dangerous weapon."
