A Vancouver man stands accused of killing his infant son by throwing him several feet onto a changing table because the child was being fussy.

David M. Redmond, 24, appeared in Clark County Superior Court on Monday on suspicion of first-degree murder.

Judge David Gregerson held him in lieu of $750,000 bail and appointed Vancouver attorney Gregg Schile to defend him. Redmond is scheduled to be arraigned on the charge Oct. 23.

Redmond said he had just returned to the family’s Maplewood neighborhood home from work on Oct. 15 when he threw 1-month-old Everett because the infant was fussy, according to a court affidavit submitted by Vancouver police Detective Jason Hafer.

“David said he was frustrated with this, so he dropped Everett onto his changing table, causing Everett to bump his head on the wooden rail,” Hafer wrote. “Everett paused for a second with his mouth open, then started crying a high-pitched noise.”
