— An 18-year-old Carson City man was booked on one count of felony child abuse, neglect causing physical harm after allegedly throwing an 8-year-old child to the ground.

Stanley Sherman Smith III was arrested after deputies were responding to a residence on report of a juvenile problem. While enroute, dispatch advised the 18-year-old had thrown an 8-year-old child to the ground.

Upon arrival, deputies spoke with Smith’s mother, who said her son had come home earlier in the evening and was clearly intoxicated. He left the residence still very upset, and later in the evening, she was contacted by a neighbor who told her Smith was involved in an altercation outside.

She said Smith was “fighting with all of his friends” so she was unsure of where he may go, but believed he left on foot.

According to a juvenile witness who saw the incident, several juveniles were outside when Smith approached them and appeared to be intoxicated. The 8-year-old child was standing next to a tree, and Smith allegedly approached the child and accused them of burning trees down.

The child then told Smith it was okay, the juveniles reported, and Smith told them if they said okay again he would punch them in the face. The child then said okay, and Smith allegedly punched them in the face, and the force of it caused the child to hit their head on the tree causing injury to both sides of their face.

Deputies inspected the child, whose face was extremely red, with swelling, bruising and a minor laceration, consistent with being punched and impacting a tree.

Deputies were unable to find Smith in the area. However, the next day, dispatch received a call in reference to Smith wanting to turn himself in. Upon arrival, deputies spoke with Smith, who said he could not remember hitting the child or why he did it, but that he felt responsible and wanted to turn himself in.
