A woman who pleaded guilty to pushing her 16-year-old friend from a bridge at a popular swimming area near Vancouver has been sentenced to two days in jail and 38 days on a county work crew.
The Columbian reports Clark County District Court Judge Darvin Zimmerman sentenced 19-year-old Tay'lor Smith Wednesday.
Prosecutors had recommended a sentence with no jail time. Smith pleaded guilty earlier this month to misdemeanor reckless endangerment.

Smith pushed Jordan Holgerson off the bridge Aug. 7 at Moulton Falls northeast of Vancouver.
Video posted on YouTube that went viral shows Holgerson being pushed.
Holgerson broke ribs and punctured her lungs in a fall of over 50 feet (15 meters). Holgerson says she's dealt with anxiety and panic attacks since the incident.
