A Guthrie Center daycare provider has pleaded guilty to one count of child endangerment after injuring a four-month-old child in her care last year. According to Guthrie County District Court records, 31-year-old Mackenzie Herron was taken into custody on Nov. 15, 2023, on child endangerment causing serious injury, a class C felony, after admitting to “slamming” the child on a wooden floor when turning them over after tummy time.

Herron pleaded guilty to one count of child endangerment, a class D felony, per a plea agreement on Oct. 31 of this year and awaits her sentencing hearing scheduled on Dec. 16. Herron faces a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison and $10,245 in fines.
