A bridge tender was arrested Thursday in connection with the February death of a 79-year-old West Palm Beach woman who fell from the Royal Park Bridge.
Police said video evidence contradicted the worker's statement that she walked out onto the balcony and visually checked the bridge for vehicles or pedestrians, saying her actions showed "reckless disregard of human life."
The woman was about ten feet from the end of the bridge when she fell to her death.
