VANCOUVER, Wash. — The 19-year-old woman who admitted to pushing a friend from a bridge has received her sentence.
Tay'lor Smith will spend two days in jail and 28 days on a county work crew, The Associated Press reported.
As part of an agreement, Smith pleaded guilty earlier this month to misdemeanor reckless endangerment.
Jordan Holgerson was hurt when she refused to join her friends in jumping from a bridge at Moulton Falls near Vancouver, Washington. Smith admitted to pushing Holgerson from the bridge. The incident was captured on video, which went viral last year,
