No bail for mother arrrested for "willfully causing or permitting a child to suffer great bodily injury or death"

On 06-20-2018 at approximately 1:38 PM, Mendocino County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to a reported coroners case involving an small child at Howard Memorial Hospital in Willits, California.



Deputies arrived and learned the child, identified as Chergery Teywoh Lew Mays (18 month old male) had been brought to the hospital by his mother, Alexandrea Raven Scott.

Initial investigations indicated the child had been accidentally left inside a vehicle for several hours while Scott was at a residence in the 2600 block of Mitomkai Way in Willits, California.


Deputies summoned the assistance of Mendocino County Sheriff's Detectives and further investigations were conducted.

Investigators learned the involved vehicle had been used by Scott's friend to transport her and the child to the hospital but had returned to the Mitomkai Way residence while Scott remained at the hospital.

Investigators responded to the Mitomkai Way residence locating the vehicle and witnesses to the incident.

After investigating this incident, Mendocino County Sheriff's Detectives determined Scott, arrived at the Mitomkai Way residence around 3:00 AM on 06-20-2018.

Once there, Scott, who resides in Humboldt County, socialized with people while leaving her child in the back seat of her car which was parked in front of the residence with the windows rolled up. It is believed the child was left unattended in the back seat of the vehicle with the windows rolled up for about 10 hours.

Scott was subsequently arrested and booked into the Mendocino County Jail for willfully causing or permitting a child to suffer great bodily injury or death.

A Mendocino County Superior Court Judge was contacted about Scott's bail and Scott is now being held without bail.
