Woman pleads innocent to allegedly throwing child into SF Bay
waterway
Tuesday April 22, 2003
VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) A woman pleaded innocent Monday to
attempted murder charges filed after she allegedly threw her
3-year-old son into a San Francisco Bay waterway last week.
Cheauvon Brown was arraigned here Monday and after a public
defender entered her innocent plea, her bail was set at $500,000.
A passerby rescued Brown's son from Mare Island Strait on
Thursday after she allegedly tossed the tot over a seawall railing.
The boy, who sank into the opaque water, was not seriously hurt.
Brown has a history of violent behavior, according to police
records, though officials have not offered a motive for the alleged
crime.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 23.
