Several passengers witnessed the woman hitting, kicking and shaking the toddler who was seated next to her.
His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 17, where he faces up to life in prison.
The woman will spend four years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the death of her daughter.
The victim underwent surgery, and the extent of his injuries are unknown.
The investigation stemmed from a concerned citizen who tipped off the agencies that the store was selling “dangerous illegal drugs.”
The suspect is accused of assaulting a girl who was known to him and the victim reported that she was given alcohol prior to the alleged assault.
The woman claimed she suffered PTSD after being attacked by a dog while working, but discretely rescued and fostered dogs for decades.
The man faces attempted murder, illegal possession of firearms and DUI charges.
The woman was dropped off at PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center on Tuesday morning, Aug. 20 with significant injuries.
The Whatcom County Jail roster shows that the man has been transferred to Western State Hospital to begin his 90-day treatment before reevaluating his ability to stand trial.
