Last month, a video of a 4-year-old boy being tossed off the trestle at Twin Bridges Park in rural Montesano made national headlines. On Wednesday, both parties involved in the incident were arraigned in Grays Harbor District Court.

Both the mother of the child, Taylor Richardson, 22, and Jeremiah Prochaskagoodwin, 35, both of Aberdeen, have been charged with reckless endangerment. Prochaskagoodwin also was charged with trespassing for being on the trestle.

On Aug. 24, Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office deputies and a state trooper responded to reports of the child being tossed into the Wynoochee River from a bridge. A video of the incident was widely shared on social media and the incident quickly became national news.

During his arraignment, Prochaskagoodwin pleaded not guilty to both charges. He was ordered to have no contact with witnesses or the minor victim.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jason Walker stated it was believed Prochaskagoodwin was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. Prochaskagoodwin also has a former charge of driving under the influence in Thurston County, the prosecuting attorney noted. Walker asked that Prochaskagoodwin’s release conditions prohibit him from drinking alcohol.

Prochaskagoodwin’s attorney said the defense agreed to no contact but disagreed with the prohibition of alcohol.

District Court Judge David Mistachkin ultimately sided with the prosecution.

“For my purposes at this point, I think there’s sufficient evidence leading me to conclude that alcohol may have played a part in it, so therefore I am going to order no consumption of alcohol and non-prescribed drugs,” Judge Mistachkin said.

Richardson also pleaded not guilty to reckless endangerment during her arraignment.

She, too, was ordered to have no contact with witnesses.

On Aug. 31, less than a week after the incident, Child Protective Services took Richardson’s two children into protective custody, including the 4-year-old victim.

Richardson has visitation with her children, and Mistachkin did not limit that contact.

“I do not want to interfere with the process CPS has going on in Superior Court,” Mistachkin said. “If there comes a time when the state or CPS or the juvenile court decide you should not have contact with your child — and I’m not saying this is going to happen, but if there comes a time when that occurs — this court’s order will be modified to reflect that. But at this point I’m not going to do that.”

Prochaskagoodwin’s pretrial date is set for Oct. 13 at 9 a.m.

Richardson’s pretrial date is set for Oct. 27 at 8 a.m.
