The woman accused of dropping her 7-month-old baby boy from the fourth story of an Orange County parking structure will be arraigned from jail Wednesday on attempted murder charges, prosecutors say.
Sonia Hermosillo, 31, of La Habra, is on suicide watch and on an immigration hold at Orange County Central Jail. Prosecutors are also requesting that Hermosillo be held on $1 million bail.
Hermosillo is accused of attempting to murder her child, Noe Medina Jr., by driving to the Children's Hospital of Orange County on Monday evening and pushing her baby from a four-story parking structure, prosecutors say.
Prosecutors said that after the incident, Hermosillo walked into the hospital, validated her parking, and fled.
A man told authorities he saw the child falling and called 911 about 6:20 p.m.
Investigators used surveillance video to zero in on a 2000 Chevy Blazer spotted leaving the garage minutes after the incident.
The child was taken to nearby UC Irvine Medical Center and remains in critical condition.
Hermosillo is married and has two other children.
