A West Palm Beach bridge tender was in court Friday after she was arrested in connection with the February death of a 79-year-old West Palm Beach woman who fell from the Royal Park Bridge.
Artissua Lafaye Paulk, 43, of Greenacres, faces a charge of one count of manslaughter by culpable negligence in the death of Carol Wright.
A judge set her bond at $20,000 and issued a no-contact order with witnesses or Wright's family.
She posted bail and was released from custody Friday afternoon, according to jail records.
Paulk was arrested Thursday after police said their investigation revealed that video evidence contradicted Paulk's statement that she walked outside to check the bridge for vehicles and pedestrians before opening the bridge.
