Charges are expected to be dismissed against a retired Hall of Fame coach who had been accused of hitting a young autistic boy at the Richland library in August.

Attorney John Jensen said videos from the library exonerate his client, Frank Teverbaugh, 76, and show Teverbaugh never hit 7-year-old Matthew Tolick in the face.

Tolick's mother, Dana, claimed Teverbaugh swore at her son and back-handed him, giving him a bloody nose. She said the incident happened on Aug. 14 when Matthew was being led out of the library by Heide Schultz, the family's in-home care provider.

The video clips show different areas of the library, and Jensen said it "very clearly shows" Schultz's accusations are false.

"We think she should be charged for false reporting," Jensen said. "It's clear she was lying."

Schultz also claimed Teverbaugh swore at Matthew, which Teverbaugh denied all along.

An independent witness who walked into the library during the alleged incident also corroborated Teverbaugh's side of the story, Jensen said.

"The witness said Ms. Schultz overreacted," Jensen said.

Jensen said the Richland city prosecutor said charges should be dismissed Tuesday or Wednesday.
